Hey Jons,

our mailing list server is having some issues. Our maintainer knows
about this, but I can't give you a timeline for when it'll be up again.

Like Marcus says, don't worry about the network endianness. We have a bunch
of things going on to flip bytes around (among other things, it saves us
some CPU load when receiving data), but you need to worry about the
Noc-Shell interface. I recommend looking at some of our existing blocks as
examples.

Hello All,



We recently had to upgrade the receivers on our products to the E320 due to
the obsolescence of the E310.



While running the same program on the E320 I observed the following issues:



1.      AD9361 temperature - on the E310, B210 this temperature used to be
around 40 to 45 C, with all channels operating - namely 2 Tx and 2 Rx. MCR
of 16 MHz.
On the E320, the temperature has jumped to 74C when only the Rx channels are
operating, while it goes up to 85C-90C when the Tx channels (i.e. all 4
channels - 2 Tx, 2Rx) are also operating. Is this normal ?
2.      E320 specific issue - when streaming data to the host PC, stopping
the stream during times of inactivity [self.uhd_usrp_source_0.stop()]
actually causes the temperature of the AD9361 to creep up over time.
3.      E320 specific issue - when streaming data, reading of the new set of
mother board sensors available on the E320 (e.g. FPGA temperature, fan,
ref_locked etc) causes the stream to stop, to process the sensor query - is
this normal. This does not happen when processing the AD9361 sensor data.



UHD version 4.8.0.0

GNU Radio version 3.10.12.0

Python 3.12.9



I would love it if it is something I am doing wrong.



All data processing is done on the host, as I understand that the E320 does
not support RFNOC updates with a free licence of Vivaldi (unlike the E310).
So, the E320 is only being used as a layer between the AD9361 and the SFP
module.



Thanks,



Indrajit.
