Subject: [USRP-users] Updating compatible UHD and firmware
Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
I have installed a new version of UHD, and now trying to load a compatible
firmware and fpga image on my N210. I initially tried doing this through
uhd_images_downloader.py but it gave this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
? File "uhd_images_downloader.py", line 47, in <module>
??? u = urllib2.urlopen(images_src)
? File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
??? return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
? File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 383, in open
??? protocol = req.get_type()
? File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 245, in get_type
??? raise ValueError, "unknown url type: %s" % self.__original
ValueError: unknown url type: @UHD_IMAGES_DOWNLOAD_SRC@
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then manually downloaded several firmware/fpga images but after burning them
on the N210 I get the following error when I run uhd_usrp_probe:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Opening a USRP2/N-Series device...
Error: RuntimeError:
Please update the firmware and FPGA images for your device.
See the application notes for USRP2/N-Series for instructions.
Expected protocol compatibility number [7 to 10], but got 11:
The firmware build is not compatible with the host code build.

Any comments would be much appreciated. thanks

@UHD_IMAGES_DOWNLOAD_SRC@ gets replaced by the build system. You cannot
run it from the source tree. It must be the file installed to <install
path>/share/uhd/utils
Please, let me know if that isnt the case. ie, the installed script gave
you that error.

This means the installed library is actually the one out of date. Is it
possible you have either an old copy or multiple installs? like in /usr
and /usr/local?
Typically, compatible firmware and images come with the binary
installers.

Or, if you install from source, they can be downloaded like so:

Subject: [USRP-users] ExtIO / UHD compatibility
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello,
I'm new to the USRP world.
I have a NI-2920 with N210 FW 12.2 and FPGA 10.0 loaded on it. I've
currently have uhd_003_004_002-177 unstable_Win64 loaded.
Computer is an I7 running Windows 7 professional 64 bit.
As a simple test of the system (and to have something to play with) I'm
trying to get HDSDR 2.14 running with it.
usd_usrp_probe runs fine, but I'm getting an ExtIO error: Expected protocol
compatibility number [7 to 11], but got 12.
I'm guessing this means the firmware in the SDR is too new for the current
version of ExtIO.
I've tried a number of different images for the radio (and read many pages
of archives and web sites) but I haven't a solution.
Has anyone been able to make this combination work?
Thanks,
Armand Sperduti

For me 32 bit and anything other than the 003.004.x code branch. The latest
version of code I could get working was 32 bit 003.003.002. There is now a
knowledge base article on using HDSDR. They mention having success with 003.004
code but I experienced otherwise.
If I remember correctly any uhd.dll that I tried failed to work other than the
version installed in the local folder with the ExtIO dll.

FWIW here's a screenshot of my code running a N210 with 5MHz bandwidth.

This software may be available late August.

You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around
you is a forest.
A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. The sunspot count
is 285.
