BladeRF File or Device I/O failure when running YateBTS
« on: November 27, 2018, 06:02:38 PM »
Hello, I'm having a strange issue. I'm using the BladeRFx40 with Yate and YateBTS. When I print the frequency, bandwidth, etc of the Blade, I see my correct settings. However, after running "sudo yate -s" and going to the BladeRF to print the values again, all correct values are replaced with "File or Device I/O failure". Is this normal operation or is this something I need to try and fix somehow?

Thanks!

Can you help me with some extra details please:
1. Do you have functionality for bladerf?
2. Do you see the same behavior even if you power cycle?
3. When you list USB devices, do you see bladerf?

1. Yes it functions correctly and makes calls from one phone to another.
2. Yes, for power cycling both the Raspberry Pi and the BladeRFx40.
3. Yes.

It isn't a huge deal, the behavior just appears strange to me and if I can optimize then that would be fantastic.
