Daniel:
I’m still going to try manually putting these commands in tomorrow, but I don’t
think they’ll work for the gr-uhd object. There may be a way to use the hijack
or claim/unclaim options to force the settings after init. I have no idea.
After you sent this email originally I tried a few different things like
enabling the TX LO distro with the Python command line, then starting the
flowgraph. The LO out lights stayed on, but when I stopped the graph, i
checked the LO distro flags and they were set to false. The Lights were still
on though. So it appears that the internal flags may get reset when the gr-UHD
multi_usrp object gets initialized.
I also spent most of the day trying to apply the TX LO equivalents of your
patches. Unfortunately I’m on UHD 4.1.0.5 and GNURadio 3.9.5 so it’s slightly
different. I got a make error for the multi_usrp_rfnoc.cpp which I didn’t see a
patch for in your post.
Hoping to get this working soon.
