[srslte-users] Error - buffer pool is empty

[Andre Puschmann]

Hi Joel,

the "buffer pool is empty" message can be a bit misleading. We will
likely remove it in the future.

In order to check your actual issue, can you send eNB logs along (with
log level set to info), please?

Also I've noticed you are using 2 ports, have you tried with 1 antenna
port before?

What UE are you using?

Cheers
Andre
