saves about 600MB of memory allocation
Move the definition of PRACH items and the PRACH list to the
defs_nr_commons.h file.
Do not re-write the entire structure in nr_schedule_rx_prach(), as it is
quite large now.
Handle CP UL packet at xran_fx_tx_send_slot() instead of
xran_fh_rx_read_slot(), as the latter would set this information too
late (on reception on samples, but it needs to be filled in the CP
packet prior to reception).
Initialize ru_info structure with beam information, and set beams on TX
direction. Initialize the number of antennas for both RX/TX in both
cases for completeness.
These libraries have an (indirect) dependency on T, either by using the
logging module (which in turn depends on T), or through other includes.
The easiest is to depend on the logging module, which will fulfil also
the T dependency.
It would equally be feasible to use the utils target (which in turn
depends on log_headers), but this would necessitate to compile, and does
not seem to be necessary.
Introduced a parameter start_up_timing which indicates if PM activation is supported during the start-up
procedure. We initialize this parameter, based on the vendor.
Notification interval is set to 10s.
Definition in o-ran-uplane-conf.yang model:
"Gain correction of RF path linked with array element or array layers.
Common part of overall gain_correction.
gain_correction = common array-carrier gain-correction + eAxC gain correction."
2 functions with same name as static to make it clearer they are separate.
remove unused copy of log_level global var.
remove threequarter sampling variable from the radio board general
configuration. The decision of sampling rate is made above. A better
behavior can be done later, like ask to the radio board what sampling
rate it can do,then use it to decide the appropiate sampling rate from
the gNB configuration. In UE case, it is another issue, as the sampling
rate would change after we decode SIB1, but also it is not developped
yet.
E release had the same issue of not using pkgconfig properly as F release.
This issue was fixed in F release when enabling its compatibility with DPDK 21+.
This commit brings this fix to E release.
In order to be usable in parallel of FHI 7.2, BBDEV devices should be included in the EAL initialization that is prformed by xran.
This commit adds a way of adding the BBDEV device from OAI.
Also fixes an issue with pkgconfig in xran.
Get xran stats in the trx_oran_get_stats function
and use trx_oran_get_stats upon stopping and ending RF.

Look up xran_fh_init/xran_fh_config through driver instead of peaking
into xran internals. Note that xran writes values back into these
structs during initialization, and hence it is important to store them
_after initialization_.
Some remarks regarding less obvious changes:
- slotnum is replaced by slots_in_sf: SLOTNUM_PER_SUBFRAME uses the time
duration of a slot (=interval_us_local) to calculate the numbers of
slots in a subframe, which can be done with a simple shift instead
- The prach duration should be queried from the PRACH configuration
table. The function to query the occasion info is part of the MAC
layer code while this information can be used outside of this layer.
Use header `nr_prach_config.h` to not duplicate functionality.

The buffers are set up by the OAI xran driver, so instead of peaking
into xran internal data, access the buffers through the driver directly.
The buffers get set up through the following xran calls
In xran_5g_fronthault_config():
- src => sFrontHaulTxBbuIoBufCtrl
- srccp => sFrontHaulTxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
- dst => sFrontHaulRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- dstcp => sFrontHaulRxPrbMapBbuIoBufCtrl
In xran_5g_prach_req()
- prach(dst) => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrl
- prach(dst)decomp => sFHPrachRxBbuIoBufCtrlDecomp
Note that in all cases:
- the xran buffer array is [XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN][XRAN_MAX_SECTOR_NR][XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR]
(of [internal] type BbuIoBufCtrlStruct, but we give an sBufferList)
- the driver buffer array is [XRAN_MAX_ANTENNA_NR][XRAN_N_FE_BUF_LEN]
Hence, we switch the order of indexing, leave out the sector, and omit
the sBufferList member.
xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti() has been introduced to access data
information from xran. However, it makes no sense, as the used macros to
calculate frame, slot, subframe, are already in the public API. Hence,
use these macros directly.
It would be possible to remove xran_get_slot_idx_from_tti(), but doing
so we would need to update the patch ID, causing trouble to users.
1. Closes#884 - increase the XRAN_MAX_FRAGMENT from 4 to 6 (sufficient for MTU 1500 with compression 8b)
2. Add new firmware version that supports jumbo frames
3. Update the config file to align with the new Liteon unit in our lab - center frequency, jumbo frames, compression and RU MAC address,
as well as the max DL MIMO layers.
The fronthaul library ships with BFP compression for AVX512 enabled targets.
This commit adds BFP compression for Arm targets by using the ArmRAL library.
Update the xran E release patch to work for Arm targets in addition to x86 targets.

- if RU(s) are not well configured, disconnect immediately and stop the DU
- if all RUs are well configured, proceed with waiting until ready. The RU is
ready when the carriers are activated. Either the RU already has preconfigured
carriers (previous M-plane client configured), or the DU has to wait until receives
the notifications.
Ideally, we should load the yang models from the RU operational datastore, but the issues are following:
1) the yang models order is not good - dependancy models have to be loaded first
2) earlier O-RAN yang versions (e.g. v4) is not properly defined (i.e. optional parameters should not be included by default)
Added support in both cases, loading from RU with <get-schema> RPC, and loading statically from "radio/fhi_72/mplane/yang/models" folder.
