X3xx images include both firmware and FPGA cod.e

We have unistalled the UHD 3.9.4 and flashed the image of UHD  available with the GNUradio which is:

C:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\share\uhd\images\usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx

my question, does this image include the FW and the FPGA together as I  have no option for standalone FW for the
x310 ?


Thank you for help
Sanat.



Quoting address@hidden:

The installer that you used to install GNU RADIO *includes* UHD.  You
now have newer UHD interspersed with the version that came bundled with
your GnuRadio install.

UHD 3.9.36 is the latestv version of USRP Hardware Driver  available.  If I uninstall it then what do you recomend me to use  because as per  my understanding I need UHD to communicate with  USRP using GNU Radio.

Quoting address@hidden:

The windows installer from that site seems to have been linked against
UHD 3.9.3, which is why the mismatch. There was no reason to have
separately installed UHD, since UHD is listed as a package that is
bundled into the installer.

I would remove the 3.9.4 UHD you have if you plan to use Gnu Radio
extensively, and the person who builds these windows releases will, at
some point, update the packaged UHD to 3.9.4 (or later).

Hi,

As suggested, I am putting the below mail in the discuss gnuradio    list. I installed gnu radio from
http://www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio/downloads.htm
64-Bit Any CPU - v3.7.9.2/v1.1.1.

I first Installed GNU radio and then Installed the UHD. Will that    might be a reason for the below mentioned problem??

Best Regards,
Sanat

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure why you're getting the communication failtures, but your device
appears, from the uhd_usrp_probe output to be functioning correctly.

I suspect that your Gnu Radio installed was linked against UHD 3.9.3,
which is why the apparent version mismatch, because clearly, your
uhd_usrp_probe is linked against the newer library.

How did you install Gnu Radio?  This part of the discussion should
probably be continued on the discuss-gnuradio mailing list.

The fact that the header indicates 003.009.003 means that you're
actually running 003.009.003, if you installed 3.9.4, it's likely in a
place outside your %PATH%.

The 'can't open file' error is coming from Gnu Radio, not UHD.  My
suspicion is that it's trying to open a file that it cannot open on
Windows, or is specified wrongly.  Not all of the examples are 100%
portable.

The communications error is of more concern.  What type of Ethernet card
do you have on your system?  What is your network setup between your
computer and the X300?

Hi,

I just received the NI USRP-2943R device. It has built-in LabView        FW  and FPGA images. In NI forum, I read that in order to    establish      communication between the USRP and GNUradio, the    latest UHD FW    and   FPGA images needs to be flashed into the    USRP. I downloaded    the  latest  UHD which is USRP Hardware   Driver  003.009.004. Using    NI  USRP  configuration Utility tool   I was  able to flash the UHD    FPGA  image    usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx into  the USRP. Iam using    windows 7  -   64 bit  for my GNUradio  application.

After doing this, the GNUradio application gives FW error.

My question is what is the right verion of FW that is compatibale        with  the NI-USRP 2943R and which tool to use to load it ?

Best Regards,
Sanat
