Hi Steven, to answer your question as quickly as possible:
1. Since 3.10.2 and your new version, a revision check was added to the source code (I just found out; the magic I did was running `git diff release_003_010_002_000..298a13 db_ubx.cpp` in the right directory). I preliminarily blame that. So, this is probably a bug on our side, and there's possibly first-revision UBXes that simply don't have a revision code in their RX and TX EEPROMs. 2. No. You can probably peruse usrp_burn_db_eeprom to just write whatever makes UHD happy into that eeprom. To be honest, another alternative, namely fixing that revision check, doesn't seem to be that bad. 3. Ah, OK, so then there's little chance a random reprogramming of the DB EEPROM happened. I'll discuss this; please have a moment of patience! Best regards, Marcus On Tue, 2018-01-02 at 10:29 -0800, Steven Chen wrote: > Hi Marcus, > > 1.
