Maybe not Ettus, but I need an e310-sg1 to work with rocko. Thanks for
making this available :)

For anyone trying, it looks like there is some work needed so sg1 units
actually work. (Sadly, all I have are sg1 units)

I'm pushing fixes here:

https://github.com/balister/meta-ettus-1/tree/rocko-updates

I'll send Kurt a pull request when I'm done. We don't need a lot of forks.

I've also been playing with git submodules to replace repo for checking
out layers:

https://github.com/balister/sdr-build/tree/rocko-e300

Yeah, no README (yet).
