+[[TOC(Tutorials/k0SDR*)]]
+
+=== Description ===
+Demonstrate configuring PicoSDR and launching demo application that utilizes Perseus carrier board for RX/TX.
+
+=== Set up ===
+Before you can access the testbed, you need to [https://www.orbit-lab.org/schedule make a reservation] and get it approved by the  [wiki:Software/Scheduler reservation service]. After receiving the reservation's confirmation (approval) email, load the ''ubuntu-14-04-64bit-sdr.ndz'' on the node. Once loading is finished turn the node on. For this example we'll use node1-12 which is a [http://www.nutaq.com/products/picosdr PicoSDR].
+
+{{{
+ssh username@grid.orbit-lab.org
+omf load -i ubuntu-14-04-64bit-sdr.ndz -t node1-12
+omf tell -a on -t node1-12
+}}}
+Once the node1-12 is up, ssh into the node1-12 (which is the PicoSDR's embedded PC) and configure the eth2 interface
+{{{
+ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.100 up
+}}}
+
+
+Verify connection to Perseus carrier board:
+{{{
+ping 192.168.0.101
+}}}
+
+Use a command line interface to load the Perseus carrier board with an FPGA bitsteam - for this example we'll use the "radio420x PCIe bitream":
+{{{
+cd /opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/bin
+python adp_cli.py
+connect 192.168.0.101
+fpgaflash 1 ‘path_of_bitstream_to_flash’
+reboot
+}}}
+
+  || [[Image(usrp_tx.png, width=500px)]] ||
+
+Since "radio420x PCIe bitream" uses the PCI Express to interface between the embedded PC and carrier board's FPGA, install the PCI Express Driver on the embedded PC:
+{{{
+cd /opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/PCIe/driver/host
+sh make-modules.sh
+sh setonpc.sh
+}}}
+
+
+'''If the embedded PC is restarted then setonpc.sh must be excuted again'''
+
+
+=== Run the GRC scripts ===
+
+Now the system is ready to build and run the demo application. Navigate to the demo project directory:
+{{{
+cd /opt/Nutaq/ADP6/ADP_MicroTCA/sdk/examples/perseus6010_radio420x_rtdex_record_playback/host/prj_linux
+sh build_demo.sh
+}}}
+
+Run the demo file:
+{{{
+sh Launch_radio420x_rtdex_record_playback.sh
+}}}
+
+Choose the appropriate option to run.
