Install OAI CU/DU/UE on Baremetal
This section explains how to compile and execute only the OAI components from the source code.
Bofere proceeding, make sure you follow all the instructions on how to install the OAI/USRP requirements prerequisites in the NUC machines.
Install UHD driver and push UHD image to USRP B210 device
Once we finished to check that the power management and CPU frequency configuration are good, we should reboot NUC machine again. After the NUC is completely rebooted, then we should connect the USRP B210 device to the NUC machine. To make the USRP B210 device run along with the NUC board, we should install UHD driver on the NUC machine. And then, we should push the UHD image to USRP B210 device.
$ # Install UHD driver
$ sudo apt-get install libuhd-dev libuhd003 uhd-host
$ # Push UHD image to the USRP B210 device
$ sudo uhd_images_downloader
NOTE 1: When we cannot install libuhd003, we can replace it with libuhd003.010.003.
NOTE 2: USRP B210 device has a power cable. We should keep that plugged in.
If we plugged off the USRP B210 power due to whatever reasons, we should push UHD image to USRP B210 device again by using uhd_image_downloader command.
Verification of UHD driver installation and UHD image push
In order to verify the UHD driver installation and UHD image push to the USRP B210 driver, we can use below command.
$ uhd_usrp_probe

If we see the above results which shows the device name B210, we are good to go.
Build OAI
The OAI repository (https://github.com/onosproject/openairinterface5g) used in this tutorial requires member-only access, a user should log in github and then check the git clone command on that web site.
After the USRP configuration, we should build the OAI code.
$ git clone https://github.com/onosproject/openairinterface5g
$ cd /path/to/openairinterface5g
$ source oaienv
$ cd cmake_targets/
$ ./build_oai -c -I --eNB --UE -w USRP -g --build-ric-agent
NOTE: It takes really a long time to build OAI.
Configure CU-CP on the OAI NUC
After that, we should copy the sample CU-CP configuration file in the HOME directory.
$ cp /path/to/openairinterface5g/ci-scripts/conf_files/cu.band7.tm1.25PRB.conf ~/cu.onf.conf
Then, modify below parameters in the copied file ~/cu.onf.conf:
…
////////// RIC parameters:
RIC : {
remote_ipv4_addr = "192.168.10.22";
remote_port = 36421;
enabled = "yes";
};
…
tracking_area_code = 1;
plmn_list = ( { mcc = 315; mnc = 010; mnc_length = 3; } )
…
////////// MME parameters:
mme_ip_address = (
{
ipv4 = "192.168.10.21"; // *Write down EPC-CORE SDRAN-in-a-Box IP*
ipv6 = "192:168:30::17"; // *Don’t care*
active = "yes";
preference = "ipv4";
}
);
NETWORK_INTERFACES : {
ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1_MME = "eno1"; // Ethernet interface name of OAI NUC
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1_MME = "192.168.13.21/16"; // OAI NUC IP address
ENB_INTERFACE_NAME_FOR_S1U = "eno1"; // Ethernet interface name of OAI NUC
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_S1U = "192.168.11.10/29"; // Write the secondary IP address which we set above
ENB_PORT_FOR_S1U = 2152; # Spec 2152 # Don't touch
ENB_IPV4_ADDRESS_FOR_X2C = "192.168.13.21/16"; // OAI NUC IP address
ENB_PORT_FOR_X2C = 36422; # Spec 36422 # Don't touch
};
}
Configure DU on the OAI NUC
Likewise, we should copy the sample DU configuration file in the HOME directory.
$ cp /path/to/openairinterface5g/ci-scripts/conf_files/du.band7.tm1.25PRB.conf ~/du.onf.conf
And then, we should open the copied file ~/du.onf.conf and change the blow variables:
tracking_area_code = 1001;
plmn_list = ( { mcc = 315; mnc = 010; mnc_length = 3; } )
Run CU and DU in the OAI-CU/DU machine
Before running CU and DU, make sure to follow the instructions provided at Network Parameter Configuration.
Run CU-CP
On the OAI NUC machine, we should go to /path/to/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build and run the command below:
ENODEB=1 sudo -E ./lte-softmodem -O ~/cu.onf.conf
Run DU
After CU-CP is running, in another terminal we should go to /path/to/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build and run the command below:
while true; do ENODEB=1 sudo -E ./lte-softmodem -O ~/du.onf.conf; done
Run the User Equipment (UE) on the OAI-UE machine
Write down a file named ~/sim.conf with the following content:

};
On the OAI-UE NUC machine, we should go to /path/to/openairinterface5g/cmake_targets/ran_build/build.
Then execute the command below to generate the UE settings.
../../nas_sim_tools/build/conf2uedata -c ~/sim.conf -o .
After that, initialize the UE process:
sudo ./lte-uesoftmodem -C 2630000000 -r 25 --ue-rxgain 120 --ue-txgain 0 --ue-max-power 0 --ue-scan-carrier --nokrnmod 1 2>&1 | tee UE.log
