Dear USRP2 users, (*Note:* this does not affect N2x0, or any other device! Only USRP2, with the SD-Card).
The latest release (3.8.3) has an issue where UHD won't let you use USRP2s. Apologies for missing that during testing and RC phases. Latest maint (and master) contain a fix for this, and future releases will also work. If you need to run USRP 2 with a stable release, we recommend 3.8.2, although the USRP2 code (both host- and FPGA-side) has not changed in a long time, so older versions will also work. So, what happened? Our latest release actually had some changes for N2x0, mostly related to UBX fixes. As a consequence, we updated the N2x0 FPGA images, and increased the compat number. On USRP2, nothing was changed at all, but due to shared host driver code, UHD is looking for the same compat number on both devices. Since we didn't touch USRP2 specifically, it fell through in our testing. This fix simply provides separate compat numbers for USRP2 and N2x0. The actual FPGA image for USRP2 never changed, so you don't need to burn the SD card for this. If you already did, that's also fine -- the current FPGA images for USRP2 are legit.
