This commit introduces the following changes to ImScope:
- Added the ability to record IQ data using the same mechanism as ImScope.
- Added a new executable target `imscope_iq_file_viewer` for viewing IQ files.
- Introduced a command line argument `--imscope-record` that enables data recording mode.
- Refactored a lot of the scope code
Usage:
- To record IQ data, run a modem with `--imscope-record` flag.
The recording happens whenever a modem calls dumpScopeData, which currently is
done only in gNB on PUSCH DTX and PUSCH CRC NOK.
There is a limit of ~1GB of files written by the thread in a signle run to avoid
accidentally exhausting disk space.
If a directory `imscope-dump` is available the data will be recorded there in .imscope
files. Otherwise files are written to the directory the modem was run. This is done so that
the directory can be mapped in a docker container.
- To view recorded IQ files, use the new executable `imscope_iq_file_viewer`. This can be done by running:
```
./imscope_iq_file_viewer <path_to_iq_file>
```
Replace `<path_to_iq_file>` with the path to the IQ file you want to view.
Replace AssertFatal with static_assert for command line arguments definition
length check. The static assert will not allow the code to compile in case
the size is incorrect.
This could save some time in the future since its easy to forget to extend
CMDLINE_PARAMS_CHECK_DESC.
THere are four possibilities, for the three options (phy_test, do_ra,
nsa):
- None is set -> SA
- Only one is set of each -> corresponding mode
Introduce a function softmodem_verify_mode() to check for these.

- CMakeLists modification: add QtWidgets library, add new source files, MOC (Meta-Object Compiler) on the given source file
- build_oai modification
- Activate new GUI with Qt on the UE side
- 2 x 3 widget with I/Q sample for PDSCH
- Drop-down list implementation
- previously, used magic numbers to designate nFAPI mode
- now, use string values (MONOLITHIC, PNF, VNF, ...)
- Remove printing of the nfapi mode to the console, as it's value is clear from the command-line argument
- Update usages of the --nfapi command-line parameter in scripts and documentation to reflect the change to string values
This commit includes about 1/3 of the code clean up
in preparation for the merge to the OAI develop
branch. Several of the changes are white space changes,
removing of logs, comment removals, and updating any
changed code for our use-case to be clear for NSA mode.
At this point we are successfully able to build.
Additionally, we can run the scenario,
however, it does not pass. It seems that the gNB
is not connecting to the proxy correctly. Just
wanted to push the progress so far. FYI, the items
that had to be changed to correct the linking issues
were the following:
- mac_rrc_data_ind_ue vs. nr_mac_rrc_data_ind_ue
- rrc_data_req vs. nr_rrc_data_req
- mac_rrc_data_req_ue vs. nr_mac_rrc_data_req_ue
- rrc_data_req_ue vs. rrc_data_req_nr_ue
- rrc_data_req vs. nr_rrc_data_req
The listed functions should be declard in the LTE/NR
UE directory depending on the functionality. Several
were mixed. i.e.: LTE functions being called in NR UE.
Also, removing siWindowLength, siWindowLength_int,
SIBType, SIBPeriod, and siPeriod_int from the NR UE RRC.
These variable were not used in the NR UE and are defined
for LTE only.
Lastly, in the NR_IF_Module.c of the NR UE, the global
variable def_dci_pdu_rel15 is not accessible. Need to
revisit this. For not it is commented out.
Removing references to memcpy_dl_config_req and
memcpy_tx_req because these functions are leaking
memory. For our standalone mode we have created
new/modified memcpy_dl/tx_req functions.
