Description

This example will demonstrate how to use GRC (GNU Radio Companion) with Nutaq's Zepto SDR.

Set up

  • Before you can access the testbed, you need to ​make a reservation and get it approved by the reservation service. After receiving the reservation's confirmation (approval) email, load the ubuntu-14-04-64bit-sdr.ndz on two nodes and turn them on - one node with a Zepto SDR and the other node a USRP. For this example we'll use node20-13 and node20-20 which have a Zepto SDR and USRP, respectively:

  • Login into reserved domain: ssh username@grid.orbit-lab.org

    Login into reserved domain

    During your approved time slot, you will be able to ssh into the console of the respective domain. A console is a dedicated machine that allows access to all resources in that domain.

    For example, to access the sandbox1: 

    yourhost>ssh username@console.sb1.orbit-lab.org

Using username "username".
Authenticating with public key "xxxxxxxxx"

  • 'Load an image on the nodes: omf load -i ubuntu-14-04-64bit-sdr.ndz -t [ [2013][2020] ]'

    Load an Image

    1. Before we begin using the nodes, it's a good idea to check their status first. This is done with the omf stat command.

      omf stat

      This omf command is used to display the power status of the node/domain.

      Usage: omf stat

      username@consoles.outdoor:omf stat
Returns the status of the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf-5.4 stat [-h] [-s] [-t TOPOLOGY] [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -s, --summary             print a summary of the node status for the testbed
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (defaults to 'system:topo:all')
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf-5.4 stat
                    omf-5.4 stat -s
                    omf-5.4 stat -t omf.nicta.node1,omf.nicta.node2 -c sb1
                    omf-5.4 stat -t system:topo:all -c grid

      Individual nodes are identified in the output of stat command by their fully qualified domain name (FQDN). This establishes their "coordinates" and the "domain" to which they belong. Nodes in different domains typically can NOT see each other. Node can be in 1 of 3 states:

      POWEROFF Node is Available for use but turned off
      POWERON Node is Available and is on
      NOT REGISTERED Node is not Available for use

      Example: omf stat on the outdoor domain

    2. It is recommended that the node be in the POWEROFF state prior to any experiment process. If the node is in the POWERON state you can use the omf tell command to get the node into the off state.

      omf tell

      OMF command to control the power state/reset the nodes.

      Usage: omf tell

      user@console:omf tell
Switch ON/OFF and reboot the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf tell [-h] -t TOPOLOGY -a ACTION [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help           print this help message
 
      -a, --action ACTION  specify an action
      ACTION:
      on              turn node(s) ON
      offs            turn node(s) OFF (soft)
      offh            turn node(s) OFF (hard)
      reboot          reboots node(s) (soft)
      reset           resets node(s) (hard)
 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (MANDATORY)
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf tell -a reset -t node1-1.grid.orbit-lab.org
                    omf tell -a on -t system:topo:all -c grid
                    omf tell -a reboot -t node1-1
                    omf tell -a offh -t [1..2,1..5]
                    omf tell -a offh -t system:topo:all
                    omf tell -a reset -t system:topo:imaged

      The commands are: on, offh (equivalent to pulling out the power cord), offs (software shutdown), reboot (software reboot) and reset (hardware reset).

      Example: turn off node1-1 on the outdoor domain

      user@console.outdoor:~# omf tell -a offh -t node1-1

    3. Once node set is on an POWEROFF state, load an image with omf load command

      omf load

      Load command is used to put an image onto the hard disk of the node.

      Usage: omf load

      Install a given disk image on the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf-5.4 load [-h] [-i IMAGE_PATH] [-o TIMEOUT] [-t TOPOLOGY] [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (defaults to 'system:topo:all')
                                (if a file 'TOPOLOGY' doesn't exist, interpret it as a comma-separated list of nodes)
      -i, --image IMAGE         disk image to load
                                (default is 'baseline.ndz', the latest stable baseline image)
      -o, --timeout TIMEOUT     a duration (in sec.) after which imageNodes should stop waiting for
                                nodes that have not finished their image installation
                                (default is 800 sec, i.e. 13min 20sec)
          --outpath PATH        Path where the resulting Topologies should be saved
                                (default is '/tmp')
          --outprefix PREFIX    Prefix to use for naming the resulting Topologies
                                (default is your experiment ID)
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf-5.4 load
                    omf-5.4 load -t system:topo:all -i baseline-2.4.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t omf.nicta.node1 -i wireless-2.6.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t omf.nicta.node1,omf.nicta.node2 -i baseline.ndz -o 400
                    omf-5.4 load -t system:topo:circle -i my_Own_Image.ndz
                    omf-5.4 load -t my_Own_Topology -i baseline-2.2.ndz -t 600 -c grid
                    omf-5.4 load -t my_Own_Topology --outpath ./ --outprefix my_Own_Prefix

      Two important arguments are TOPOLOGY describing the set of nodes one wishes to image , and !IMAGE specifying the name of the image one wants to load the nodes with. If the imaging process does not does not finish within the default timeout period, that period can be increase by using the -o flag (e.g. -o 1600). Typical command to load both nodes of sandbox 1 with the baseline image would look like:

      Example: omf load-i baseline.ndz -t node1-1

      username@console.sb3:~$ omf load -i baseline.ndz -t node1-1

      If the node is in the NOT REGISTERED state, you may need to wait for it to recover the POWEROFF state (it some times requires a few moments for the services to sync up). If the node takes more than 60 seconds to come out of the NODE NOT AVAILABLE state please report it to an administrator.

  • Turn on the nodes: omf tell -a on -t [ [2013][2020] ]

    Turn the Nodes ON

    To turn the nodes on use omf tell command:

    omf tell

    OMF command to control the power state/reset the nodes.

    Usage: omf tell

    user@console:omf tell
Switch ON/OFF and reboot the nodes in a testbed
Usage:
      omf tell [-h] -t TOPOLOGY -a ACTION [-c AGGREGATE]
 
      With: 
      -h, --help           print this help message
 
      -a, --action ACTION  specify an action
      ACTION:
      on              turn node(s) ON
      offs            turn node(s) OFF (soft)
      offh            turn node(s) OFF (hard)
      reboot          reboots node(s) (soft)
      reset           resets node(s) (hard)
 
      -h, --help                print this help message
      -t, --topology TOPOLOGY   a valid topology file or description (MANDATORY)
      -c, --config AGGREGATE    use testbed AGGREGATE
 
      Some Examples: 
                    omf tell -a reset -t node1-1.grid.orbit-lab.org
                    omf tell -a on -t system:topo:all -c grid
                    omf tell -a reboot -t node1-1
                    omf tell -a offh -t [1..2,1..5]
                    omf tell -a offh -t system:topo:all
                    omf tell -a reset -t system:topo:imaged

    The commands are: on, offh (equivalent to pulling out the power cord), offs (software shutdown), reboot (software reboot) and reset (hardware reset).

    Example: turn off node1-1 on the outdoor domain

    user@console.outdoor:~# omf tell -a offh -t node1-1

Once the nodes boot up, verify that the interface to each SDR is configured correctly.

Verify connection to Zepto SDR: 

ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 9000 up
ping 192.168.0.101

Verify connection to USRP: 

ifconfig eth2 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 9000 up
ping 192.168.10.2

Run the GRC scripts

Download the receiver zepto_rx.grc into node20-13 and open it with GNU Radio Companion. 

root@node20-13:~# cd /opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/gnuradio/gr-nutaq/examples
root@node20-13:/opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/gnuradio/gr-nutaq/examples# wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/raw-attachment/wiki/Tutorials/k0SDR/Tutorial10/zepto_rx.grc
root@node20-13:/opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/gnuradio/gr-nutaq/examples# cd ..
root@node20-13:/opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/gnuradio/gr-nutaq#sh launch_gnuradio_companion.sh &

A window should pop up similar to the following:

Next download the transmitting side usrp_tx.grc and open with GNU Radio Companion. 

root@node20-20:~# wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/raw-attachment/wiki/Tutorials/k0SDR/Tutorial10/usrp_tx.grc
root@node20-20:~# gnuradio-companion

A window should pop up similar to the following:

On both GRC windows click on the execute (side ways triangular) button to start both scripts. On the receiver side and spectrum window should open showing a carrier frequency. The details of the center frequency, power, gain, etc are in the GRC files - tweak a some of the parameters and validate by observing the spectrum.
