Hi all,
What are the plans to expand support for new SDR devices?
When I check the contents of osmo-trx/Transceiver52M/device/ on the git master I see the supported lms, uhd and usrp1 devices. For example the XTRX SDR was presented at OsmoDevCon 2018. I expected it to be included in the master soon. At this point I see its addition in the fairwaves / libxtrx-wip branch from 2018. That doesn't give me much encouragement for my next question.
Would it be possible to add support for PCIe SDR from Amarisoft?
Some information about SDR is here https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/amarisoft-sdr-integration-with-oai/2288
This osmo-trx is able to run for a few tens of seconds then it quits and I have to restart it, so I would need a deeper understanding of the timing and scheduling of processes within osmo-trx. Who should be a clock master SW stack or SDR device?
I see a lot of log error messages as
