Hello,
We are working with the srsRAN software package (www.srslte.com). Our hardware
configuration is a laptop running the srsRAN application under
Ubuntu, connected via USB to a USRP. It runs well with B200s,
however we do not have access to B200s at the location where our
testing will take place.
What we do have are E310s. The srsRAN application expects a
UHD-based front end, as is standard when using a B200. What we
are looking for is a way to make an E310s look like a B200 to
the laptop, accessible via UHD.
Is there an easy way to do this, like some kind of bypass mode
to give direct access to the radio? MATLAB appears to support
this type of operation but we're not clear how.
Thanks!
E310 have something called "network mode", so you don't have to use
them as a not-very-well-endowed embedded platform. Unfortunately
it's
very limited in the bandwidth it can deliver and really isn't
recommended. The last LTS release for E310 that even supported
network mode was
UHD 3.9.
The E310 was really intended as a small embedded platform where if
you're clever you can split functionality between the on-board FPGA,
and
the embedded ARM dual-core CPU.
