Is it possible to build a testbed using Colosseum-Scope, Colosseum-Scope-E2, and Colosseum-Near-RT-RIC without using the Colosseum Emulator, but instead using an SDR?

[JJinsup]

I am currently using a dockerized Open5GS connected to an srsRAN_4G eNB, with a B210 SDR to connect a COTS UE to the eNB.

I tried modifying the scope_start.py and the config files within the srslte_config folder and ran them, but it did not work.

"generic-testbed": "True", this option is in radio_interactive.conf if we using the radio_generic.conf
it works?

It should work, please also note that Colosseum uses SDRs as well. The error above looks like a Python dependency issue.
