Hello!
I have problem with bladerf 2.0 A4. After some time of operation, the call to bladerf_sync_rx issues the following error:
[ERROR @ host/libraries/libbladeRF/src/backend/usb/libusb.c:1045] Transfer timed out for buffer 0x7f6227f0e410

When this problem appears, bladerf_sync_rx returns error -6: BLADERF_ERR_TIMEOUT
Next calls to bladerf_sync_rx doesn't work too, until card is closed and reopened again.

Re: Transfer timed out for buffer
Can you try a different USB 3.0 port (that is connected to a different controller)? Or a different host altogether? Usually these types of problems are a lack of processing power on the host or a crappy USB controller. Sometimes the problem can be alleviated by tweaking the buffer size, number of buffers, and number of transfers.

Re: Transfer timed out for buffer
I did a lot of testing and problem continues. I have tested few mainboards, cables and bladeRF cards. From time to time problem appears. I have tested latest fimrware and drivers, nothing helps.
What can I change/test to fix this problem ?
Code: Select all
buff_size = 4000000;
const unsigned int num_buffers = 16;
const unsigned int buffer_size = 8192; // Must be muliple of 1024
const unsigned int num_transfers = 8;
const unsigned int timeout_ms = 3500;
/* Configure both the device's RX module for use with the
* synchronous interface. SC16 Q11 samples *without* metadata are
* used. */
#ifdef BLADERF_API_1
status = bladerf_sync_config(m_dev,
BLADERF_MODULE_RX,
BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16_Q11,
num_buffers,
buffer_size,
num_transfers,
timeout_ms);
#else
status = bladerf_sync_config(m_dev,
BLADERF_RX_X1, // x1 RX (SISO),
BLADERF_FORMAT_SC16_Q11,
num_buffers,
buffer_size,
num_transfers,
timeout_ms);
#endif

Please ensure you are running the latest version of master from the Github.

Re: Transfer timed out for buffer
Hello everyone,
i'm fairly new to bladeRF and trying to develop a little software for data collection. I have a very similar issue as mentioned in this thread. If anyone could help, that would be very nice!
My setup: Raspberry Pi 4B rev 1.4 with bladeRF 2.0 xA4
I'm trying to continously transfer rx samples to the raspberry pi (Tx samples are just sent at the beginning of a measurement and stay constant).
The code is written in python, so i'm using the provided bindings which are slightly adapted to my needs (including trigger).
i've been playing around a lot with the setting, but I am not really successful.
What makes the situation even more strange to me: i have different setups (different raspberry pis) and all seem to behave somewhat differntly.
I also tried the but there is no direct influence on the issue (however in the dmesg log i see the difference).
Thanks for all kinds of inputs and help

Re: Transfer timed out for buffer
As a quick debug, does bladeRF-cli run ok?

Re: Transfer timed out for buffer
Sorry for the late reply.
bladeRF-cli is running ok, as far as I can tell
