FPGA compatibility problem.

[akim.kl]

Hello everyone!

I use USRP E310 with Live  SDR Environment (GNU radio ver. 3.7.9, UHD ver. 003.009.001).  I tried to run some examples in GRC and got an error:

linux; GNU C++ version 4.8.4; Boost_105400; UHD_003.009.002-0-g13f1e05f

-- X300 initialization sequence...
-- Determining maximum frame size... 1472 bytes.

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/local/lib/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/local/bin/uhd_image_loader" --args="type=x300,addr=192.168.40.2"

For more information, refer to the UHD manual:

http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x3x0.html#x3x0_flash

>>> Done (return code 1)

I run /usr/local/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py
and install new images but nothing change.

How to know image version by file name or its content?
Where i can take necessary firmware(image)?

Thank you!

Hi, did you burn the new image to the on-board flash storage like the instruction said to do?  Were there anything different you did?  Just want to confirm if you took a look at the manual?

Thanks,

Subject: Ettus USRP E310 connection

I am unable to connect the "Serial Console".  

I created the SD card with the image download from the http://files.ettus.com/binaries/images/  base of the Part Number (P/N). 

Would someone walk me through how to test the device?

Hi swctrlhw,

You may want to post your own topic since it seems to be only tangentially related to this topic.

That being said, you should start with the UHD utilities. (https://kb.ettus.com/UHD)

oook this is a bit long but faces the same problem.

 i did run the recommended line but gives me an error: saying

"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py" 

bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py: No such file or directory
