Unable to open RF frontend device

Open andyraf opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

I've been tearing my hair out trying to get LTESniffer to work but get this message. This is with dual USRP B200 devices, neither of which has a GPS, so I expect the "no gpsdo detected" errors, but not the Failed to open a RF frontend device:

$ sudo ./src/LTESniffer -A 1 -W 2 -f 619.5e6 -u 665.5e6 -C -m 1

At this point LTESniffer hangs.

This is with the latest LTESniffer-multi-usrp building with a clean Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS OS. I've entered my serial #s into LTESniffer_Core.cc, rerun all the install/build steps, and tried building multiple branches of UHD (4.0, 4.1, 4.7) but all yield the same result. uhd_find_devices works fine:

$ sudo uhd_find_devices [INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 11.4.0; Boost_107400; UHD_4.0.0.0-240-gb38c9d83

-- UHD Device 1

Device Address: serial: 3304BED name: MyB200 product: B200 type: b200

Any suggestions of where to look next?
