Hi,
We just bought the USRP1 device and the daughterboard DBSRX2 to Ettus
company. The software installation was done from Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu
11.04 and the WARNING result was the same in both cases. I explain a little
the process and tests:
We have installed all the dependencies to install UHD driver (003,002,003)
in the two versions of Ubuntu and Gnuradio (Gnuradio 3.2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04
and Gnuradio 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 11.04). The tests we have done in the two
releases of Ubuntu are:
1) Execute the UHD: command *uhd_find_devices* with the result:
Linux, GNU C + + version 4.5.2; Boost_104200; UHD_003.002.003-release
--------------------------------------------------
- UHD Device 0
--------------------------------------------------
Device Address:
type: usrp1
name:
serial: 4e274809
2) Execute the UHD command: *uhd_usrp_probe* with the result:
Linux, GNU C + + version 4.5.2; Boost_104200; UHD_003.002.003-release
- Opening a device USRP1 ...
- Loading FPGA image: / usr/share/uhd/images/usrp1_fpga.rbf ... done
- Using FPGA clock rate of 64.000000MHz ...

It seems all right as because it detects the card DBSRX2 on RXA motherboard
, isn't it?.
3) But when execute any Gnuradio exmple python script like : *
usrp_benchmark_usb.py* the warning are:
Testing 2MB/sec...
*Warning: Treating daughterboard with invalid EEPROM contents as if it were
a "Basic Rx."
Warning: This is almost certainly wrong... Use appropriate burn-*-eeprom
utility.*
uUuUuUuUuUuUuUusb_throughput = 2M
ntotal = 1000000
nright = 998049
runlength = 998049
delta = 1951
OK
Testing 4MB/sec...
*Warning: Treating daughterboard with invalid EEPROM contents as if it were
a "Basic Rx."
Warning: This is almost certainly wrong... Use appropriate burn-*-eeprom
utility.*
uUuUuU
4) Also if execute the airprobe command: *dbusrp -f 937000000* the warnings
is the same

My questions are:
What are the warnings?,
Why Gnuradio don't recognize the DBSRX2 board?,
I had done any wrong in my installation process?
I'm a little desesperate because i saw that in diferent OS (ubuntu 10.04 and
Ubuntu 11.04 with different gnuradio versions the warning persist and i
can't use gnuradio with my new DBSRX2 board.
Best regards.
