Manual installation of ARC-OTA

Accelerated Computing Aerial Forum
1

Hi,

I am installing ARC-OTA on a Supermicro MGX. According to the documentation, the SDK Manager does not yet support ARM systems. Therefore, I am attempting to install ARC-OTA manually.

When I click “Get Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN” (NVIDIA NGC), I am redirected to the NGC catalogue page. Although I am already a member of the 6G program, I do not see “aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN” under Organization/Team.

Could you please let me know how to become a member of “Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN” and provide any links about the manual installation of ARC-OTA?

Best regards,

Hi @seung.jang1 ,

Can you please select the first option (aerial-ran-and-ai-radio-framework) ? You will see Aerial CUDA Accelerated RAN under collections.

Thank you.

Hi bkecicioglu,

Thanks a lot for your help.

It looks like the container already includes ARC-OTA. So, I don’t need to install it separately using the SDK Manager, right?

HI @seung.jang1
Please follow this guide ARC-OTA Configuration App Note (Step-by-Step Debug Commands) — Aerial RAN CoLab Over-the-Air .

Hi frmolander,

Thanks for your reply.

I’m currently using SMC-GH for the Core Network, but I haven’t been able to run docker-compose. I reached out to aerial-info@nvidia.com to request the necessary patches and build instructions, but unfortunately, I haven’t received a response. Would you be able to share the patches and build steps?

Hi,

Thanks for the instruction.

It seems there’s no docker-compose-cn-gh.yaml in the 2024.w21+ARC1.5 branch. I found it in the ARC1.6_integration branch. Could you confirm whether the instruction is for the ARC1.6_integration branch?

For gNB, if there’s any updated documentation for GH, could you please share it with me?

Regards,

Yes please use ARC1.6_integration branch.
