I tried with the E100’s actual address and the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and both worked. I should also say it’s a bit confusing to call the command line switch “--address” when it’s actually handling the arguments the same way as uhd_find_devices, etc. handle the “--args” switch. For instance, I also got it to run with --address=”type=e100”. Also it’d be nice (but not necessary) to have the program automatically detect if it’s an E100 since it will never be controlling devices other than itself.

You're right about the address-->args thing. I started doing all of this on a USRP N210, so it was always the systems IP address for me, so that's what it became. Now, to remember all of the places where I did it and correct for it...

As for the auto-detection, I suppose it's possible to tap into the UHD's find_devices feature and just default to the first one it finds as opposed to a static default. I'll talk with Josh about doing this.

Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this error, but I’m hoping for a quick response J

 

I’m getting a “network unreachable” error on an E100 when trying to run benchmark_tx.py from the gnuradio “next” branch (Tom Rondeau?). Command line & error, and output of uhd_usrp_probe are attached.

 

Thanks!

Sean

Probably needs a --args that tells UHD to go looking for the e100 interface, rather than whatever its default is.

Perhaps Josh can comment on the search order that UHD uses when you don't explicitly specify a device, and is that order
  different on an e100?
