Hello all!
Does anybody have any actual information about the possibility to run osmo-trx on Ettus E100 board? I see some references in manuals about the possibility of running it, but I can't find details on how to do it.
I tried several ways: 1. Build from source on target HW. Unfortunately "autoreconf" crashes with some perl module dependency.
2. Install binaries. Binaries for arm available only for Debian 9, so I built an image and installed Debian 9.0 on SD-card. Installation of binaries was unsuccessful because of some unmet dependencies.
3. Build from scratch on Debian 9.0. I was partially successful in it. I was able to build osmocore and osmo-trx. The problem was to run it because now, uhd_find_devices shows an empty list. It looks like that kernel module usrp_e.ko should be loaded, but I have no idea where to find its sources.
And one more question: Is it a proper place to ask questions related to BTS and TRX? Should I move my question to some other mail list?
Thank you Ivan
Hi Ivan,
I'm not aware of any SUR PExxx users within the Osmocom community. There may (be / have been) some, but if, they are probably rare.
From the Osmocom stack thre shouldn't really be any problem:
* we build our code for other embedded ARM targets like ** sysmoBTS devices (using yocto/poky/OE) ** Raspbian builds are part of network:osmocom:nightly
So the Osmocom code will run on ARM based Linux systems.
All of your questions / issues seem really be related to the USRP E100 itself, and its drivers and/or OS level issues.

sure, the list is right - I just think that the problems you mentioned so far are not really rooted in the Osmocom software, but the hardware / driver / OS, and I would expect most people have no experience with the E100.
