I reinstalled the trunk version of GNU Radio, and I was able to successfully burn the RFX 2400 to MIMO A. The problem I have now is that I cannot seem to get the daughterboard to tune on receive in either a Rev 3 USRP or a Rev 4 USRP. I’ve verified that it is reporting MIMO A in the USRP Diagnostics within GRC, but when I run usrp_fft.py on the MIMO A board, I get “Failed to set initial frequency”.
I tried putting at MIMO A (side B) and a MIMO B (side A) RFX 2400 in a single Rev 4 USRP. Interestingly, I am able to transmit a tone via a MIMO A card and receive it in a MIMO B card. But I cannot receive the tone transmitted by the MIMO B card on the MIMO A card due to this “Failed to set initial frequency” problem. The MIMO B board’s tone is fine. This is how I was testing them.
./usrp_fft.py -R B -d 256 -f 2.4375e9 -g 10 & ./usrp_siggen.py -f 2.437550e9 -i 512 --const -T AWhen I burned the MIMO A card, I used the following command:
./usrp/host/apps/burn-db-eeprom -f -A -t rfx2400_mimo_aIs there something I should check? I’m at a loss on how to proceed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
First off, reburning the eeprom is the LAST step in a several step
process to make an RFX board into a MIMO_A board. The rest of the
procedure is shown here:

Secondly, why are you doing this? You have MIMO_B boards which is the
optimal setup. The only reason to make a mimo_a board is if you want to
use it with a very old rev 3 USRP, which you do not have.
