Hi Michael,
GNURadio is under active development. Therefore, file names can change
and thus tutorials don't reflect the latest changes until they are
updated. The two file syou found, std_2rxhb_2tx.rbf and
std_4rx_0tx.rbf, are two different versions for the USRP firmware. the
first one has two rx and to tx paths, the second one has 4 rx and no
tx.
When the oscilloscope run, did you see a change in the LED on your
USRP, i.e., did it first blink fast, and once the oscilloscope was
running it blinked slower? If, then everything is fine. If not, then
follow the installation instructions here:
http://www.comsec.com/wiki?UsrpInstall
except that I think we are at rev4 for the firmware now, instead of rev2.
The exception you get is probably because you have the wrong
daughterboard in your USRP. What is the configuration you are using?
Cheers,
Thomas

Hello everyone,
I'm a first time poster who's generally new to SDR as well as the gnuradio
software. I've recently taken a course in communication networks and
wireless networks, and this summer I'm working on using a few USRP boards to
implement my own CSMA/CA protocol. However, before I get into the meat of
that project, I've got to make sure that all my board setups are correct.
Forgive me, this is going to be a mouthful.
First things first - after visiting Dawei Shen's tutorials at the GNURadio
website, I found that some of the instructions there were inconsistent with
the files I got in the package - specifically tutorial number 4. I've
installed the gnuradio package, and when reading the usrp tutorial, I'm told
to make sure that I have a file called usrp_fpga_rev2.rbf in the
/usr/local/share/usrp/rev2/ directory. (Which reminds me, if it helps, I'm
running Ubuntu Dapper Drake) However, in the usrp package that I download
from the gnuradio download page, I don't find that file, but instead I find
two files called std_2rxhb_2tx.rbf and std_4rx_0tx.rbf. My first concern is,
why don't I find the files I was told I'd find?
My second concern still involves the 4th tutorial. I'm told to run
usrp_oscope.py in the
gr-build/gnuradio-examples/python/usrp/ directory, which
I'm told will bring up an oscilloscope, which it does, so I'm assuming
that's okay. Then I'm told to run wfm_rcv_gui.py [some fm frequency], which
will let me hear fm signals. This is where my problem starts. First off,
that file doesn't exist. So I try a file with a similar name -
usrp_wfm_rcv_nogui.py -f 101.5. This gives me an assertion error, which
looks like this:
Using RX d'board A: Flex 2400 Rx
>>> gr_fir_ccf: using SSE
>>> gr_fir_fff: using SSE
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./usrp_wfm_rcv_nogui.py", line 149, in ?

line 122, in tune
ok, baseband_freq = subdev.set_freq(target_freq)

line 174, in set_freq

File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/db_flexrf.py",
line 392, in _compute_regs
assert self.B_DIV >= self.A_DIV
AssertionError
My second concern is: why does the example file in the 4th tutorial not
exist, and what might be causing this assertion error?
