ETTUS B210 Moc up tool

Warning:

NEVER send to high levels to the input of the SDR.
The Tx-Chain levels might destroy the Receiver of the SDR!

Install:

The installation on Ubunutu is 95% automated: Download this repo and run install.sh and execute:

sudo apt install git #Optional if git not yet installed
git clone https://github.com/slevon/ettus_moc_up.git
cd ettus_moc_up
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

This should download everything you need and start compiling the ettus uhd lib with the recommended settings. If a s problem should arise you can view the install script to see the steps needed for the setup. (There might be some broken cd commands ^^ ) The install script does the following for you:

• get the neccesary dependencies for compiling the ettus uhd
• download the uhd source
• compile the source
• create a virtual python environment
• install the uhd python lib and other tools into the venv
• download the fpga images for the SDR
• setup linux groups and udev rules for the sdr

If the Python3 Lib is not created an alternative cmake command could be:

cmake -DENABLE_PYTHON_API=ON -DENABLE_PYTHON3=ON -DENABLE_C_API=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m.so ../

Run:

Verfiy if you can connect to SDR using Python:

python3 ettus_find_devices.py

Than run the testtool

python3 testdata_generator.py

It will show two plots an create 3 Files: 2 png of the plots and a *.npy File, that will contain the samples as numpy array.

This array can be read using python or a c++ lib: https://github.com/llohse/libnpy

An example C++-Programm is in the tests dir of the project
