[Discuss-gnuradio] Big bugs out of nowhere...

[Jared Jensen]

I haven't been using my usrp for a little while.  I've been porting my code to a TI C64x+.  I came back to my usrp today and tried to run just a basic receive for test data for my TI DSP.  I got the following error.  In usbview I see a "USRP Rev4" under my ehci controller.  I thought it might be the board, so I grabbed my other usrp, and the exact same thing happened.  (This is with gnuradio-3.1.1 )  So I tried my older gnuradio install, and tried to run usrp_fft.py... and the same things happened.  I checked /usr/local/share/usrp.  It has all of the rbf (see below).  Has anyone encountered this before?  It was just a few months back everything was great... I didn't touch gr for a while... came back and BOOM.  :(  No joy.
