bladeRF-fsk Update?

Open AgileEngineeringLLC opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

I'm trying to run the bladeRF-fsk, and I'm getting the following error:

Failed to set TX VGA1 gain: Operation not supported

Looks like a cool demo. I'm guessing bladeRF-fsk may not be updated for BladeRF 2 devices? If so, any plans to update? Any advice on what I'd need to change to get it working on my own?

Thanks!

Please take a look at branch dev-fsk for a fix that extends support to unified gains (which is what the bladeRF 2.0 micro uses).

Verified on linux. You will need to build from source for now:

  1. Uninstall the make and delete the build directory
  2. Change the git branch to dev-ask
  3. Reinstall using the cmake instructions

From a clean install:

 git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git ./bladeRF
 cd ./bladeRF
 cd host
 git switch dev-fsk
 mkdir build
 cd build
 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON ../
 make
 sudo make install
 sudo ldconfig

Hi,

I was able to get it built per the instructions you sent, but I tried both demos (with default gains) and I’m getting:

Sent: 0% ERROR: Transmission failed (no connection)

What was your exact hardware setup, and the commands you used to get it to work?

Thx!!

P.S. My setup is cabled, with RX side: bladeRF 2.0 with DCblock and 20 dB attenuator TX side: bladeRF 2.0 with DCblock and 20 dB attenuator

TX1 and RX1 of RX bladeRF are connected to RX1 and TX1 of TX bladeRF respectively
