Hi,
When having a look at http://discourse.criticalengineering.org/t/howto-gsm-base-station-with-the-b eaglebone-black-debian-gnu-linux-and-a-usrp/56 I wonder if there is a way to use the osmo-trx with rangenetworks RAD1/SDR1 radio. I do not yet own an Ettus B210, so it would be fun using the BeagleBone with the RAD1/SDR1, what is some shrinked and at the same time extended USRP1 radio.
Ralph.

You would need to use the RAD1 transceiver. The socket API of osmo-trx is identical to that of the RAD1 host code, but the internal implementation has clearly diverged. I would not expect to see RAD1 support in osmo-trx anytime soon.

That is unless someone volunteers to add this support.

We at Berkeley tried this a few months ago (Range was kind enough to help us fab RAD1s in support for a Filipino project). Made some progress, but we never got it working. So it definitely doesn't work out of the box.

Hi Kurtis,

Can you clarify what was tried?
Are we talking about TransceiverRAD1 with Osmocom stack? OpenBTS-RAD1 on Beagleboard? RAD1 with OsmoTRX? or something else?

RAD1, using modified TransceiverRAD1, with OsmoTRX.

To be clear, I think it was a tractable problem, our use case for it just fell through. I'd be happy to share what it took to build and run (I think I saw beacon but couldn't receive) but I can't seem to find the repo right now...

Since OsmoTRX and TransceiverRAD1 serve the same role, I assume you mean TransceiverRAD1 with osmo-bts-trx.
That said, the current module naming not exactly the most intuitive.

Yes! That's exactly what I mean. Sorry about that.
