Hi all and happy new year,
It is not clear to me if this question is a usrp or
gnuradio related so I send it to both lists. Apologies
for the duplication.
----
I have installed a clean version of gnuradio to an
ubuntu box
from repos with apt-get.
I then installed from the ettus site the uhd files
using:
"Using binaries provided by Ettus Research":
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ettusresearch/uhd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libuhd-dev libuhd003 uhd-host
After trying to communicate with my newly bought X310
I got some error messages about incompatibility of FPGA images that
I fixed with appropriate downloading/burning the new images to FPGA.
Now commands like uhd_find_devices and uhd_usrp_probe work perfectly, eg,
address@hidden:~$ uhd_find_devices
[INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 7.3.0; Boost_106501; UHD_3.13.0.1-release
--------------------------------------------------

Device Address:
serial: 311D131
addr: 192.168.10.2
fpga: HG
name:
product: X310
type: x300
telling me that I am using UHD_3.13.0.1-release
PROBLEM: however when I run a simple uhd example (eg, uhd_const_wave.py)
I get the following error:
address@hidden:/tmp$ ./uhd_const_wave.py
Warning: failed to XInitThreads()

RuntimeError: RuntimeError: Expected FPGA compatibility number 33, but got 35:
The FPGA image on your device is not compatible with this host code build.
Download the appropriate FPGA images for this version of UHD.
Please run:
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py"
Then burn a new image to the on-board flash storage of your
USRP X3xx device using the image loader utility. Use this command:
"/usr/bin/uhd_image_loader" --args="type=x300,addr=192.168.10.2"
For more information, refer to the UHD manual:
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x3x0.html#x3x0_flash
------------------------------
So it seems that it is using a different uhd library (UHD_003.010.003.000-0-unknown) than the one I installed from ettus...
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Achilleas
