MicroPhase AntSDR project build

System diagram

System

Prerequisites

  • Vivado 2019.2

  • SRS Python tools:

cd python_tools
sudo pip3 install -U pip
sudo pip3 install .

Bitstream generation

  1. Set Vivado path:

export SRS_VIVADO_PATH=/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2019.2/

  1. Generate SRS IPs, ADI IPs and bitstream:

cd projects/antsdr
./create_project.sh bitstream

Bootgen

  1. Generate the boot file:

make gen-boot

  1. Configure the antsdr parameters:

export BOARD_USER="root"
export BOARD_PASS="analog"
export BOARD_IP="192.168.1.10"

  1. Load boot files to antsdr:

make load-boot

  1. Reboot the board.

Board usage

See the Application Note: End-to-End 4G testing with AntSDR for full details on building and running an SDR software application in this platform.

Tips and tricks

Configure antsdr with a custom IP:

sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB8 115200
ifconfig eth0 10.12.1.201

In case you want to manually load the bootfiles, just use the following commands (as used in the board-specific Makefile):

export BOARD_USER="root"
export BOARD_PASS="analog"
export BOARD_IP="10.12.1.201"

sshpass -p $BOARD_PASS ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $BOARD_USER@$BOARD_IP "mkdir /mnt/data"
sshpass -p $BOARD_PASS ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $BOARD_USER@$BOARD_IP "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/data"
sshpass -p $BOARD_PASS scp ./bootgen/BOOT.bin $BOARD_USER@$BOARD_IP:/mnt/data/BOOT.bin
sshpass -p $BOARD_PASS ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $BOARD_USER@$BOARD_IP "sync"
sshpass -p $BOARD_PASS ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no $BOARD_USER@$BOARD_IP "umount /mnt/data"
