>From the above logs, initErrCal is coming as 0x0. This means " Tx baseband filter calibartion " error.



initErrCode is coming as 0x0. This means " No error".


While running TX_LO_LEAKAGE_EXTERNAL calibration, I am getting above error. Please reply.

hi srimoyi,

AD9371_OF_PROP("adi,obs-settings-obs-rx-channels-enable", &phy->mykDevice->obsRx->obsRxChannelsEnable, MYK_ORX2);

    AD9371_OF_PROP("adi,obs-settings-obs-rx-lo-source", &phy->mykDevice->obsRx->obsRxLoSource, 0);
    AD9371_OF_PROP("adi,obs-settings-sniffer-pll-lo-frequency_hz", &phy->mykDevice->obsRx->snifferPllLoFrequency_Hz, 2600000000U);

    AD9371_OF_PROP("adi,obs-settings-default-obs-rx-channel", &phy->mykDevice->obsRx->defaultObsRxChannel, OBS_RX2_TXLO);

These are already set in ad9371.c file. Please tell if i have to set any other parameter.

"If you disable the external TX LOL cal  and then run the init, are you able to pass the initialization with TX1 and ORX2 enabled? " - I will check

Can you check on Eval board TX LO External calibration with ORX2 ?

Thanks
Mahima

Just to confirm, in the tx obsselect, as you have given a zero input, have you pulled the   gpio 0 pin to low which indicates to the ARM that the TX1 pin is routed.

I did not understand your question completely.

Are you talking about useTx2EnablePin ?

No. GPIO 0  should be pulled to low so that the routing of the TX1 path for calibration is informed to the BBP.

Hello, Thanks for the reply.

txObsSelect is already pulled to zero.

I am still not able to calibrate. Can you try on Eval board?

Hello,

I have tried on Eval board TRX 1 LOL External Calibration with ORX1.

It is working. But everytime whenever i am checking TX lol status, percentcomplete is showing 64 percent and iterCount is incrementing by 3.

Do i have to enable bist tone for callibration ?

Please suggest.

Hope you have connected the external path from TX1 to ORX1. What is the signal level and the LOl level that you are getting at the ORX output after running this cal?

Are you operating the chip in FDD mode?

Yes i have connected the external path from trx1 to orx1. Observation power is 12dbfs. Yes the chip is operating in FDD mode.

After running calibration . lo leakage is -85dbm at 1842.5MHz.

Please share with us the full log including iteration count , update count and percent complete. LOL update interval is 6sec, so please wait for some time before capturing the log.

Can you check the LOL levels before and after running the external LOL tracking cals. Then compare the levels between the two, to ensure if the tracking is running successfully.

"Can you check the LOL levels before and after running the external LOL tracking cals. "

- Earlier level was -82dBc and after calibration, level is around -85 and -86 dBc.

You can ignore percentage complete. That is status of current update and it varies as per what time we print the status. Iter count and update count are same means its working fine. LOL levels are as well good.

 We don’t see an issue here.

Thanks

I have to test same calibration on our custom board with ORX2.

Is there any function to calculate ORX2 power level?

You can use the below API to measure the ORX dec power

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried same configuration on our custom board. Hence TX1 LOL external calibration is working with ORX2.

But LOL is at -61dBc with respect to main frequency in bist mode. Is there any other ways to calibrate more?

When you are using the TX1 to ORX2 path for running the external LOL cals, are you seeing good LOL levels? When you are sending tone from FPGA ,are you seeing good LOL levels with TX1 to ORX2 external LOL calibration?

When you are sending the tone from internal TX NCO, what is the frequency of the tone?

Can you share a capture of the TX output when you are sending tone using TX NCO?

Sorry for the delayed response. I will share the snapshots.

The above figure shows bist tone after external LO calibration at TX1 through ORX2

The above figure shows bist tone before external LO calibration at TX1 through ORX2

You are seeing an improvement in LOL levels with External LOL tracking cal enabled. So, it confirms that the cal is running.

 Can you share the status of the  MYKONOS_getTxLolStatus when you are running TX1 to ORX2 external TXLOL cal? hope that the same loopback path is configured in GPIO settings as discussed before.

If you use TX1 to ORX1 path or TX2 to ORX2 path for running external TXLOL cal, how much LOL levels are you seeing?

Yes, improvement is there.

Yes, same loopback path is configured in GPIO settings.

We cannot run cal using ORX1 as on our custom board ORX1 is not connected.
