[Openbts-discuss] OpenBTS using the E310

[Walter M. <wma...@ii...>]

Hi All,

Just some initial top level question regarding running the OpenBTS on 
the Ettus E310 device.

1. The standard build.sh does not include an option for the E310.
2. It looks like the OpenBTS packages need to be installed on the device 
as opposed to an external host.  Is this correct?
3. I followed this guide 
http://openbts.org/w/index.php?title=E3x0#OpenBTS to installing the 
openBTS on the unit.
4. The command ./osmo-trx -f gives back the errors reported.
ALERT 3058143232 06:32:57.0 UHDDevice.cpp:703:parse_dev_type: Unknown 
UHD device type E-Series Device
ALERT 3058143232 06:32:57.0 UHDDevice.cpp:703:parse_dev_type: Unknown 
UHD device type E-Series Device
ALERT 3058143232 06:32:57.0 osmo-trx.cpp:457:main: Failed to create 
radio device

  This seems to be similar to this post 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.usrp.e100/15988.  Has this 
issue been fixed or do I need to manually change UHDDevice.cpp as shown?
5. What are the commands needed to run the openBTS software on the 
E310?  Is the ./osmo-trx command sufficient or do I need to run the 
openBTS in addition?  Not sure where the subscriberRegistery, smqueue 
are supposed to be run.  I am assuming on the host (not the E310).

I would be grateful if someone in the discussion list would clarify some 
of these issues for me.

Regards

Walter
