Hello USRP-users, I have hit a snag uploading the images required to make my USRP2 function. I will give a brief description of my setup, what the symptoms are, and what troubleshooting steps I have taken.
Device: USRP2, serial# 1330 Daughter Card: SBX Rev. 5.1 Operating System: Ubuntu GnuRadio distribution, downloaded via http://s3-dist.gnuradio.org/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64-gnuradio-3.7.11.torrent, booted to live environment without any system updates SDCard: Kingston 2GB SD Card, supplied with USRP2. Symptoms: After flashing the FPGA and FW images to the provided SDCard, the fan comes on, but none of the indicator LEDs illuminate on the front panel. The host system obtains the 192.168.10.1 IP address automatically when connected to the gigabit ethernet port, but the default IP address does not respond to ping requests. A ping sweep of the 192.168.10.0/24 address space from the host did not find any additional hosts. Troubleshooting steps: The SDCard appears in the system as two devices: /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0p1 The instructions were not clear which device should be the target of the flashing utility, so the first device chosen was /dev/mmcblk0p1. To obtain the latest images, I ran the uhd_images_downloader command, which downloaded the 003.009.000-release version of the images to /usr/local/share/uhd/images. I used the following commands to burn the roms to the device: # usrp2_card_burner --dev=/dev/mmcblk0p1 --fpga=/usr/local/share/uhd/images/usrp2_fpga.bin # usrp2_card_burner --dev=/dev/mmcblk0p1 --fw=/usr/local/share/uhd/images/usrp2_fw.bin I plugged the SDCard into the socket, and got no indicator LEDs. No response on the network interface. To erase the SDCard and start over, I ran the following command: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=8192 I then repeated the above process using /dev/mmcblk0 all unique permutations of: Using /dev/mmcblk0 Using /dev/mmcblk0p1 Using the images downloaded using the uhd_images_downloader tool Using the stock images located at /rofs/usr/local/share/uhd/images Using a copy of the usrp2_card_burner_gui downloaded from https://github.com/steven-chen/UHD-AD/blob/master/host/utils/usrp2_card_burner_gui.py Using the stock copy of the usrp2_card_burner_gui located at /rofs/usr/lib/uhd/utils/usrp2_card_burner_gui.py No change in behavior for any of these from the USRP2. Is there anything else you guys can recommend I try? Or is this board toast? :( This is the first time I have tried to use it, even though I bought it years ago. Since it's EOL, I'm guessing the return policy on this is not great... Thanks in advance!
