INSTALLATION

STANDARD VERSION - NO GNURADIO SUPPORT

Clone the repository and enter in the created folder (default: gr-hydra). Execute the following commands:

mkdir build; cd build;
cmake ../
make

RUNNING THE EXAMPLES

NOMENCLATURE

For all examples we:

  • We associate a terminal ID to a all terminals open in the form T_n, where n is the terminal number. Wherewer needed we are going to refer to a specific terminal by specifying its ID.

  • refer to USRP_n as a pair of PC+USRP, where n indentifies one of the pair. Ex: USRP_1 is what you consider your 1st PC+USRP, while USRP_2 is your second. Whenever we refer to USRP_1 you execute the instructions in that machine.

EXAMPLE 1

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: 2x [USRP] -- IDEAL: 3x [USRP]

  1. Open a terminal in USRP_1 (T1). Start the Hydra-Server flowgraph:
python grc_blocks/app/hydra_gr_server_example.py
  1. Open a terminal in USRP_1 (T2). Start the client that request 2 end-to-end TX/RX slices:
python grc_blocks/app/hydra_gr_client_2tx_2rx_pdu_gen.py
  1. Open a terminal in USRP_2 (T3). Start the flowgraph that receives the messages (PDU) transmitted in slice 1:
python grc_blocks/app/usrp_vr1_pdu_gen.grc
  1. In T3 you should see the log of messages being received from USRP_1:
LOG
LOG
LOG
LOG
  1. In T2 you should see the log of messages being received from USRP_2:
LOG
LOG
LOG
LOG
  1. If you have only 2 USRP: stop the flowgraph in T3. Otherwise go to next step.
  2. Open a terminal (T4) in USRP_3 (or USRP_2 if you have only 2 USRPs). Start the flowgraph that receives the messages (PDU) transmitted in slice 2:
python grc_blocks/app/usrp_vr2_pdu_gen.grc
  1. In T2 you should see the log of messages being received from USRP_3 (or USRP_2):
LOG
LOG
LOG
LOG
  1. In T4 you should see the log of messages being received from USRP_1:
LOG
LOG
LOG
