Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] FOSDEM '14 - Call for Participation
To: <discuss-gnuradio(a)gnu.org>
Cc:
Dear friends and colleagues,
next year's FOSDEM (the free and open source developer's meeting in
Brussels, Europe) will feature a new track on Software Defined Radio.
Therefore, we invite developers and users from the free software radio
community and to join us for this track and present your talks or demos.
Software Radio has become an important tool to allow anyone access the EM
spectrum. Using free software radio libraries and applications and cheap
hardware, anyone can now start hacking on wireless communications, remote
sensing, radar or other applications. At FOSDEM, we hope to network all
these projects and improve collaboration, bring new ideas forward and get
more people involved.
The track's web site resides at:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/FOSDEM14
Here, we will publish updates and the final schedule.
** Submit your presentations
To suggest a talk, go to https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM14 and
follow the instructions. You need to create an 'Event'; make sure it's in
the Software Defined Radio track! Lengths aren't fixed, but give a
realistic estimate and please don't exceed 30 minutes unless you have
something special planned (in that case, contact one of us). Also, don't
forget to include time for Q&A.
Typical slot lengths would be 30 Minutes including QA.
You aren't limited to slide presentations, of course. Be creative. However,
FOSDEM is an open source conference, therefore we ask you to stay clear of
marketing presentations. Of course, we like nitty-gritty technical stuff.
We will reserve time to simply hack, it won't all be talks.
** Important Dates
FOSDEM is February 1st & 2nd 2014.
* December 1st 2013: Submission Deadline
* December 20th 2013: Speaker Notification
* January 10th 2014: Announcement of final schedule
* February 2nd 2014: SDR Track
** Steering Committee
The track committee consists of:
* Philipp Balister (OpenEmbedded / OpenSDR)
* Martin Braun (GNU Radio)
* Sylvain Munaut (OsmoCom)
Hope to hear of you soon!
Martin

Hi Manoel Aposaz,
Please edit the file transceiver52M/UHDDevice.cpp
Changing "const double master_clk_rt = 52e6;" to "const double master_clk_rt = 13e6; "

ok. I thought i could test it on saturday but now, i dont really know what to do, if i had to order again for antennas i think i will take time...
About the problem i got when i was trying to run openBts do you have an idea of what can be the cause??

You must buy 2 more antennas by yourself.
You may not using GPS.

I have connect the four cable on the PCB and here is the picture of it.
I still don't know how to connect them to other component such as antennas.
Look at the image and tell me something please.

Hi
I am Emmanuel, i am working on an openBTS project and i have the umtrx module to accomplish this. I know recently you did it, i red your questions during this time in the mailing list, i send a message in this mailing list, i didn't have an answer up to know. i really need help.
My question is this:
1 - i don't know how to run openbts; i went to this directory :
openbts/trunk/apps:
and i run it by :
./openbts
but it saying that no file or directory ./openbts;
i dont know if you have an idea of what can be the problem. i attache the image of the screen.
2- Secondly, i want to know how you put your openbts cables and other part of the package togheter, i receive the package with just an circuit, an antennas and 4 cables that i don't know what to do with it, also an GPS antenna. i don't know really how to connect them.
I really need help, hope to read you.
Thanks and have a nice day my friend.
Best regards.
Hello all,
Please someone know how to fixe this problem.
I am trying to run the OpenBTS with the Umtrx module, and i am getting this
error: NO UHD DEVICE FOUND,
BUT the ping command work properly showing the connection between them
(Umtrx and the computer), also the uhd_find_device command work properly
showing the umtrx module...
Could some one tell me what can be the next step to solve this problem??
Here is a picture of this.
Hope to read someone.
Best ragards.
Hi all,
If, someone is reading this, please i need help:
1- I want to know if there is a manual showing how to put all the part of
the package of Umtrx togheter.
2- If i want to scan the frequencies in an area, what can i install to let
GNU radio communicate with Umtrx to show the frequency graph that will
help me choose the non used frequencies (it is possible with USRP and i
want to know how to do it with Umtrx).
3- My last question is to know if handover is possible with just OpenBTS
2.8 and Umtrx modules or it required an OpenBSC and OsmoBTS architecture.
Best regards:
Manoel.
