UmTRX Host Driver Major Update
Posted: January 28th, 2015 | Author: Andrew Back | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »Up until recently the host driver for UmTRX was provided by a Fairwaves-specific version of UHD. However, support is now available in the form of a UmTRX module that is loaded by the stock version of UHD based on UHD 003.004. Meaning that it’s now possible to use a single UHD install, together with the UmTRX module, to work with both Ettus and Fairwaves hardware. Furthermore, UmTRX is also able to benefit from updates made to the UHD mainline without porting.
New and improved features
Further updates made to the host software and accompanying firmware as part of this transition include:
- Numerous additional features for versions of UmTRX that are used in the UmSITE product line, such as the ability to control integrated power amplifiers, and sense forward and reflected RF power at their output ports;
- Support for timed commands;
- Retrieving GPS NMEA data over IP is now functional.
