Hey Rob, you found a bug. Let me clarify: The subdev spec is a bit of an artefact from the past, so we're trying to bridge the USRP stone age with the N310 future here. For that reason, the four possible values for your subdev spec on the N310 are: A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1 ...and they correspond to the front panel labels: RF0 RF1 RF2 RF3 The A and B signify both the physical daughterboard, as well as the corresponding RFNoC block and RFNoC block controller (in software). When we first released, we had A:0 B:0 C:0 D:0 for various reasons. However, we wanted to change it to what we have now mostly because it helps remind people that A:0 and A:1 are on the same hardware, share an LO, and so on. When we did change it, we made a mistake that wasn't caught until now. We're working on a fix, as well as a clarification in the manual right now. Hope this clears things up. -- Martin _______________________________________________ USRP-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ettus.com/mailman/listinfo/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com
