[srslte-users] zmq driver help

Dear Mirko, Xavier,

I face the same problem when trying ZeroMQ to communicate between UE and eNB on the same machine.

I tried all the parameters as cited in the your emails as well as in the pdf guide. 
But no luck. Always get the message "Warning: Detected Radio-Link Failure". Please find its execution log below.

Have you any detailed information to resolve the problem ? Could you share your ue.conf and enb.conf files ?

By the way, do you know how to connect multiple UEs to eNB by using ZeroMQ?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Nghia Nguyen.
