Moeller has a very good tip here, we use different daughterboard id's to let the software know if the resistor modification has been performed. So here is a list of things to try: If you are using the raw-ethernet host code included with gnuradio 3.3 or earlier: Testing the id number of your DBSRX on USRP2: 1. Insert an SD Card which has been programmed with the raw ethernet (Raw Ethernet, No WBX or XCVR) txrx.bin and u2_rev3.bin firmwares. You can get the latest here: http://ettus-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/ettus/projects/public/wiki/U2binaries 2. Apply power and you should see the "D" and "F" leds light up if not, your SD Card is incorrectly programmed, try 1 again 3. Use the "find_usrps" command to ensure your USRP2 can be discovered. If you get permissions errors, make sure you are the root user or set the suid bit on usrp2_socket_opener as described here: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/1/USRP2UserFAQ#Can-the-USRP2-be-used-by-a-non-root-user 4. Run the "usrp2_probe" command to list daughterboard information, for DBSRX these are the ids you care about: 2 (0x02) = DBSRXs for USRP1, R193 populated, R194 unpopulated (factory default) 13 (0x0D) = DBSRXs for USRP2, R193 unpopulated, R194 populated If the ID you find is incorrect, you can change it using the following procedure: On USRP2, changing to ID 13 (0xD) 1. Program an SD card with burn_dbsrx_eeprom.bin firmware and the raw ethernet fpga (u2_rev3.bin) and insert it in your USRP2 2. Apply power and you should see all LEDs except "E" light up if not, your SD Card is incorrectly programmed, try 1 again 3. Power-off and use the steps above to check that the id is now 13 (0x0D) On USRP1, changing the ID can be handled by installing the DBSRX on Side A and using the following command: <SRCDIR>/usrp/host/apps/burn-db-eeprom -f -A -t [dbsrx|dbsrx_clkmod] Choose dbsrx for ID = 2 USRP1, choose dbsrx_clkmod for ID = 13 (0x0D) for USRP2 You can check the daughterboard IDs on a USRP1 using the usrp_probe command The good news is, the UHD works with USRP2 more like a USRP1 in this regard, so daughterboard IDs can be changed via the host, no need for changing SD cards. You can find out how to do the DBSRX modification for USRP2 with UHD here: http://www.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/dboards.html#daughterboard-modifications And UHD offers the uhd_usrp_probe command to see what daughterboards are installed and their ids. Amee, I know you have worked on this for a while now, I hope that helps clear things up for you and please do let me know if you get it working or which step above fails for you.
