G'day, I haven't made any progress in finding a solution to my problem. A direct email to Matt (Ettus) explaining my predicament didn't receive a reply. It was hoped that the manufacturer of the USRP would provide some after sale techmical support for their products.
The USRP is no longer communicating when it was powered up after being in storage for the past 6 month. As mentioned in my previous email, see below, my suspect is the co-processor that hosts the USB interface, although I can't be sure. Perhaps someone on this list knows a procedure that would lead to an accurate diagnosis. At this stage I'm contemplating to replace the processor. What needs to be considered prior to replacing this processor, e.g. does it need to be flashed? I'm also looking for a supplier for this chip. Any help is very much appreciated. 73, Berndt VK5ABN On Tuesday 04 November 2008 22:28:38 Berndt Josef Wulf wrote: > G'day, > > today I discovered that my USRP appears to have a problem.
