Hello!
I try to build GNURadio with OpenBTS on a Ubuntu Linux system. I
have the current revision of the repository running (10393).
GNURadio was built successfully and works, but OpenBTS didn't work,
because RX failed to tune.
Following errors occur:
TRXManager.cpp:
WARNING -- RXTUNE failed with status 1
POWERON -- failed with status 1
Transceiver.cpp:
RX failed to tune
I ask my question in the GNURadio discussion list, because the
problem is related to the USRP and his registers.
I have the source code (see below) and the function "rx_setFreq"
which is called with the parameter freq = 1716400000,000000 (is
calculated with 1724,4MHz: 1724400000.000000 -2*4000000 =
wFreq-2*LO_OFFSET)
And then the function "compute_regs" is called. This function seems
to be similar to usrp2/firmware/lib/db_rfx.c - "bool rfx_set_freq".
My problem is this line in the OpenBTS source code:
if (m_uRx->read_io(1) & PLL_LOCK_DETECT) return true;
m_uRx->read_io(1) = 0xff3b = 1111 1111 0011 1011
PLL_LOCK_DETECT = 0x4 = 0000 0000 0000 0100
so the if condition is false it doesn't return true, but it should
return true.
So I test several frequencies for looking after the value of m_uRx-
>read_io(1):
-> GSM 1800 frequency -> m_uRx->read_io(1) = 0xff3b -> does not
tune, because Bit 2 is 0
-> GSM 850 and 900 frequencies -> m_uRx->read_io(1) = 0xff3f -> does
tune, because Bit 2 is 1 (but I don't have RFX900 daughterboards)
My questions: What does the function read_io(1) return? The values
written to the fpga with function "_write_spi" N, R and control aren't
the values returned by read_io()?!
In my example with ARFCN 583 (1724,4MHz & 1819,4MHz) The values of
R, N, control are:
Function rx_setFreq, (R & ~0x3) = 0x340040
Function rx_setFreq, (R & ~0x3) | 1 = 0x340041
Function rx_setFreq, (control & ~0x3) = 0x4fc924
Function rx_setFreq, (control & ~0x3) | 0 = 0x4fc924
Function rx_setFreq, (N & ~0x3) = 0x403528
Function rx_setFreq, (N & ~0x3) | 2 = 0x40352a
How does it calculate and return 0xff3b? And why does it only for
GSM850/GSM900 return 0xff3f and not for GSM1800 (0xff3b)?
Thanks & Regards
