Robert Schmidt 8dcdee85f7 Use buffers as set up by driver
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.

How to get support from the OAI Community

You can ask your question on the mailing lists.

Your email should contain below information:

  • A clear subject in your email.
  • For all the queries there should be [Query] in the subject of the email and for problems there should be [Problem].
  • In case of a problem, add a small description.
  • Do not share any photos unless you want to share a diagram.
  • OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP configuration file in .conf format only.
  • Logs of OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP in .log or .txt format only.
  • In case your question is related to performance, include a small description of the machine (Operating System, Kernel version, CPU, RAM and networking card) and diagram of your testing environment.
  • Known/open issues are present on GitLab, so keep checking.

Always remember a structured email will help us understand your issues quickly.
