[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 UART use

[bobb]

We're exploring the possibility of monitoring the overrun/underrun status via 
the USRP2 UART. 

I'm curious to learn what approaches people have taken to do this (e.g., 
connect the UART to a logic analyzer, use a level shifter -> RS232 -> host 
serial/USB port, etc.). 

I'd also like to know what other information is available via this port and any 
other information people can share about there experience using the UART port.

I've found some level shifter cables that seem ideal and aren't too expensive 
(<$30), but I'd like to hear what (if anything) other folks are doing.

  Thanks,

P.S. I attempted to send this out several hours ago, but for some reason it 
didn't make it. If the original does resurface, I apologize in advance for the 
duplicate posting.
