Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Any idea what can make a usrp stop working?

[Jonathan Coveney]

I just tested my computer with a different USRP, and it works, leading me to believe that there is something (weird) wrong with my USRP unit :( Anyone have any idea what these things are prone to, or if there's something I can do to restore to to a pristine, "factory state," for troubleshooting? It's just frustrating because it worked one day, stopped working the next. Frustrating!!

I'll check the print_db when I go back home, but by worked I mean that I could even run usrp_wfm_nogui.py and get radio stations

OK; that computer should work OK w/ a USRP1.

The weirdest part is a) that it DID work

By "did work" do you mean that you have successfully use GNU Radio and USRP1 together, e.g., usrp_fft?  Or do you mean something else?

If you execute 'usrp_print_db.py' what's returned (if anything)?

 and b) that the USRP still can get the firmware and whatnot, but it's only when it starts polling for stuff that it seems not to work

Strange; maybe others have insight?  This has never happened to me.
