Great news! Also great that we have this on record for others with older hardware they'd like to put to use again. Nick On Fri, May 10, 2019 at 4:54 PM Joe Martin via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Holy smoke! SUCCESS!! Nick pointed out that there are two switches on > the N

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Holy smoke! SUCCESS!! Nick pointed out that there are two switches on the N210; S1 and S2 and S1 is a reset, so an upload of FPGA code fails if that is held (which I was holding for his suggested test!). Holding S2 during iMPACT loading of the .bit image results in the uhd_image_loader step b

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Ian and all, I have been very careful to avoid the pitfalls you detailed. I began with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04 then performed a successful build of UHD 3.9.7, then used command: uhd_images_downloader to load the appropriate/associated images into the PC. Then used ISE iMPACT t

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Ian, Very good, that’s encouraging at least. Yes, I am familiar with using ISE iMPACT to load the FPGA with .bit code and even how to create the .bit from the associated .bin file and did try doing that earlier but perhaps not identically to your prescribed steps below. I’ll revisit it. I s

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Oh, okay, I didn’t get that. Understood now. I have UHD 3.14.0 running on my main machine so I could try again some newer .bit files into the FPGA than I previously have tried (I tried the current version of UHD and N210 usrp_n210_r4_fpga.bit to no avail) to see if any of them are compatible.

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

I'm saying that you might try to continue the effort to JTAG load a more modern FPGA image. It's possible you have to hold down the safe mode button while loading the image. On Thu, May 9, 2019, 2:22 PM Joe Martin wrote: > Thanks for digging into that for us, Nick. Interesting. As the hardware

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Thanks for digging into that for us, Nick. Interesting. As the hardware change to rev4 occurred around mid 2011 and the earliest UHD version that exists on the files.ettus.com/uhd page is Feb 2104, what is the likelihood in your opinion that the UHD version will be

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

So I really dug into the old archives here and literally pulled an old hard drive out of a closet, and found a copy of the old hardware repository from back in the days when N210 was called "USRP2+". Best that I can tell, we only ever released two versions to the public. We might have sold R3 stick

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Thanks for the info, Marcus. However, seeing that Jason went through this last year with a couple of N210 he has it would seem unlikely that all three of the N210 are broken. That being said and considering what you jus said it seems that I should’ve been able to find some version of UHD that

Nick, Ian, If this unit happens to be incorrectly labeled as a rev 2 N210 and it is actually a rev 3 N210, is there hope in being able to load rev 3 firmware and fpga images (which I have located previously and tried actually) with some available UHD version? If so, would you be able to tell

Re: [USRP-users] Need a little help with running legacy prebuilt UHD versions

Okay. I’ve asserted from the outset that it’s a rev 2, based on the factory label. Is this N210 a lost cause if it is actually a Rev2 N210? Joe > On May 9, 2019, at 2:05 PM, Nick Foster wrote: > > Well, it's not a rev 4. It's either 2 or 3 in terms of hardware revision. > > On Thu, May 9,

Well, it's not a rev 4. It's either 2 or 3 in terms of hardware revision. On Thu, May 9, 2019 at 12:58 PM Joe Martin wrote: > …able to ping 192.168.10.2 successfully. > > On May 9, 2019, at 1:54 PM, Joe Martin wrote: > > Ian, > > Yes, I have tried many times to boot in safe mode, same result >

Ian and Nick, Thanks for the assistance. Attached are dropbox links to two snapshot photos: 1) the factory label on the back of the N210, showing N210 r:2.0 and 2) a top side view of the N210. 1) https://www.dropbox.com/s/u92x02rni71kfb3/20190509_133253.jpg?dl=0
