N310 configuration and access
Description
This tutorial shows how to configure and access the N310 SDR from an experiment server. The N310 is used as a network based USRP which has a 1Gb control interface and a 10Gb data interface. Both interfaces need to be configure properly for control and data streaming. Product information for the N310 is here.
Network configuration
From a COSMOS console, load a baseline sdr image onto an experiment server - for this example srv1-lg1.sb1.cosmos-lab.org is used.
console:~$ omf load -i baseline-uhd.ndz -t srv1-lg1.sb1.cosmos-lab.org console:~$ omf tell -a on -t srv1-lg1.sb1.cosmos-lab.org
After the experiment server (srv1-lg1) is up, ssh into it and list the all interfaces.

The interfaces should be configured as shown in the table. The control interface should come up automatically however the data interface needs to be configured.
Interface name Speed Address Description eno1 10G 10.39.1.1 Data interface for sample streaming enp134s0 1G 10.37.1.1 Control interface used for command streaming
Configure eno1 so it can talk to the N310's data interface and set the network tcp buffers as well.
$ ifconfig eno1 10.39.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 mtu 8000 $ sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=62500000 $ sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=62500000
Run uhd_find_devices to detect the available N310s. This enumerates all the SDRs that were detected.

Trouble shooting
The FPGA bit file will need to be updated if FPGA version mismatch is generated in the output text of the uhd command above. Follow the steps below to update the FPGA image - this will download and install the FPGA image that is matched with the UHD version being used. Complete details on updating the FPGA is found here.
node:~$ sudo uhd_images_downloader node:~$ uhd_image_loader --args "type=n3xx,addr=10.37.2.1,fpga=HG"
After the image loader completes, power-cycle the N310 from the console and detect the N310 again.
console:~$ omf tell -a offh -t srv1-lg1.sb1.cosmos-lab.org console:~$ omf tell -a on -t srv1-lg1.sb1.cosmos-lab.org
