[srsran-users] Issues with Running srsENB on USRP E310

[Alin Stoica]

Hello everyone! I might be missing something about my project, where I'm
trying to work with a commercial UE using USRP E310. Has anyone tried
something like this and managed to set up a 4G base station with this USRP?
I'm also keen to know which Ubuntu versions you've used with srsRAN, and
the specific UHD drivers you went with. Any insights or experiences you
could share would be super helpful!
