Hi, I'm running GNU Radio 3.3 from within a Fedora 12 x86 64-bit virtual machine using VMware Fusion on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I've configured a second ethernet interface, and tested communications with the USRP2 using the following command find_usrps -e eth2 Now, the thing is other commands

They refer to version specific code for libusb (v0.1 or v1.0). Most of the code is made common between versions, but the remaining parts are in those files. Which file is compiled is determined by configure and will depend on your system setup. Thomas On 12/07/2010, John Wu wrote: > what is

What's the benefit of using UHD, at the moment? I thought that was something that was being developed to better integrate with the National Instruments hardware ecosystem. Eventually it will incorporate all the hardware with full functionality under one API. It currently supports only the U

Hello, I have looked everywhere, including through the Verilog FPGA code and in the Python scripts, but nowhere can I find how to use 8-bit samples. According to usrp_fft.py, the -8 and --no-hb options should allow a decimation factor of 4, but nothing I can do will return anything but zeroe

Dont blow up on me like the last guy... but the usrp2 gnuradio driver uses a linux kernel-specific packet ring and will only build on linux. Hence the error message that you saw. However, the UHD uses userspace udp sockets and will build on macos and windows as well. You may want to try: http
