Description

This tutorial demonstrates how to record spectrum on multiple nodes using an OEDL script.

Hardware / Software Resources utilized

  1. SB6 nodes with WISER platform.
  2. wiser_sb6_zedboard.ndz: disk image loaded onto nodes.
  3. wiserd application - Check here for more info.

Spectrum sensing with an OEDL script

  • Follow the start-up instructions to program and setup the FPGAs on both the nodes.
  • The following OEDL script resides on the console of SB6 and can be used to run spectrum sensing on both the nodes at once.
