UmTRX aka OpenBTS HW update

historical

Hi Alexander,

I looked at the schematics and PCB. I did not notice anything bad. However,
I am not really able to check everything.

Anyway, I just have two questions.
1/ There is a CLKIO connector. As I can see on the schematics. We can set
this as a clock output (master) or input (slave). This looks perfect if we
want to synchronize 2 boards together (1 master output connected to 1 slave
input). If we need to synchronize 3 boards together (trisector
configuration), how could we connect them together ? Can we split the clock
output signal to connect it to the 2 slave inputs ? If yes, everything is
fine. If not, we might need 1 ouput and 1 input on the board (instead of 1
output or 1 input) to allow us to daisy chain the boards. What do you think
?
2/ On Image2, I can see 3 components outside the board near the 6 pin
connector. Is this normal ?

Please let me know about these two points.

Best regards.

Jean-Samuel.
:-)
