Great, I'll be looking for it. All I've got is an sg3 so I didn't pay much mind
to the sg1 issue. Maybe Ettus can send us some hardware so we can be sure we
didn't break other platforms, I'll take an N310 as well :P
Just FYI, once meta-ettus upstream updates UHD to the latest release 3.11.1.0
<https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/commit/ad6b0935175771999c7f02ad45c28421dfbf3b6f>,
I'll most likely rebase rocko+e3xx on that.
Kurt
