Hi All,
I ported UmTRX project to the new UmTRX v2 board. Now you can compile FPGA
project for UmTRX v2 board with "make UmTRXv2" command from fairwaves/umtrx
branch.
Now, my next goal is to get a working second transmission channel in fpga
project.
Regards,
Andrew Karpenkov
Andrey Sviyazov, this question is probably for you,
IIRC, both nanoBTS and SysmoBTS have separate antennas for Rx andTx and do
not use duplexers. Do we need duplexer for UmTRXv2 if it operates in the
low power mode, without an additional PA/LNA?

Hi,
I'm having a problem while trying to do a LPF Bandwidth tuning as described in a Programming and Calibration guide page 40, figure 4.5 and on https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves/blob/fairwaves/umtrx/host/utils/u…. Currently it seems to always fail when it's trying to find the VCOCAP value. I'm only getting Low printed before it fails. I was wondering why it takes a 320MHz frequency, because it's not described anywhere in the documents, could I try to do a bandwidth tuning with some other frequency as well? I'm running my code in a following order (http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/umtrx/2012-July/000075.html),
Example setup for ARFCN 925:
Initialization and auto-calibration:
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-init
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-tx-enable 1
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-rx-enable 1
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --pll-ref-clock 26e6 --lpf-bandwidth-code
0x0f --lms-auto-calibration
RX LNA and RXVGA2 selection and gain control
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x75 --data 0xf0
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x65 --data 10
TX LPF control
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x34 --data 0x3e
LO leakage cancellation (calibration data values may vary)
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x42 --data 0x67
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x43 --data 0x89
TX/RX PLL charge pump current
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x16 --data 0x93
Tuning
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-rx-pll-tune 925.2e6
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-tx-pll-tune 880.2e6
TXVGA2 gain to max and enable PA
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --reg 0x45 --data 0xc8
./umtrx_lms.py --lms 1 --lms-pa-on 2
Andrey, Jean-Samuel,
I wanted to check pricing for ET1011C2-CI-DT - 1GbE PHY chip we use
and I haven't found it neither in DigiKey, nor at Mouser. At Arrow
they are "Call for Quote":
http://components.arrow.com/part/search/ET1011C2
Do you know what happened to this chip? Is there any pin-to-pin
replacements or could we buy enough of those chips from some other
source?

Alexander is visiting Boston after the Open Hardware Summit last week in
NYC. We powered up the umTRXv2 for the first time yesterday afternoon and
immediately captured a GSM signal on the Signal Hound after launching
OpenBTS. Echo Test with the test handset worked like a charm.
Congratulations to the Fairwaves team!
