Hi Tim,
Actually just today i solved the problem
of USRP2 synchronisation.
I downloaded the new firmware code from the gnuradio website did the following changes by adding
clocks_mimo_config(MC_WE_LOCK_TO_SMA); just before the while loop, in the txrx.c compiled it and burnt in SD card.
Now the clocks are locked to reference clock and the USRP2's are synchronized, and everything is working well..!
But i have another issue, when i send the file containing complex I&Q samples from GRC
Transmitter side : File Source --->USRP2_sink(interp=16, f=1.8G)
|-->FFT_sink(avg=yes)
Receiver side: usrp2_fftsink.py (decim=16,f=1.8G)
I get perfect frequency plot matching exactly as seen in the transmitter side.
But when i use tx_samples.cc (interp=16, f=1.8G, -r) to transmit the same file. I get the almost same frequency plot with lot of dissortion, I have checked all the available parameters in the tx_samples.cc but in vain.
I have also , python generated code top_block.py by the GRC for the above function with the tx_samples.cc , both are sending 32bit floating complex values to usrp2_sink..., how come their results are different....? even though keeping all the parameters same for both of
them...!
Thank you

Hi Krishna,
(Sorry for the blank email before - accidently hit gmail shortcut)
The way I've done this in the past is by calling:
u=usrp2.source_32fc()
u.config_mimo(
MC_WE_LOCK_TO_SMA)
in the Python flowgraph init. I've not had to modify the firmware to get this to work (I cant remember if the firmware had to be modified to confirm the clocks were synchronising via the test pin header on the USRP2)
Cheers,
Tim

Hi i am trying to synchronize two USRP2's to the reference clock 10MHz.
as per the discussions i found in the internet i have added
clocks_mimo_config(MC_WE_LOCK_TO_SMA);
just before the while(1) loop
in txrx.c and then i have compiled the code to create txrx.bin
But when i burn this txrx.bin with the downloaded u2_rev3.bin from the trunk(gnuradio website). The USRP2 is booting up all fine(6 LED's flash once and 2 LED's remain). but when connected to PC , it shows USRP2 not found.
to cross verify i also downloaded txrx.bin from the trunk in gnuradio website and burnt the SD card with u2_rev3.bin. USRP2 again boots up properely , and the USRP2 is detectable in the PC (./find_usrps)
But when i compile the firmware code and burn, the USRP2 boots properly , but does not connect to the PC....I don't know why ??? Can somebody help me out here ? am i missing anything ?
I compiling the firmware directory in the gnuradio3.2.2/usrp2/firmware
the compiled txrx.bin is 28KB and the downloaded txrx.bin is 25.6KB
Thanks
