I'm trying to clean up a few things and will post some images you can install with bmaptool (complete with block maps so you can create a card in a few minutes) > 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. I was hoping Ettus would submit an update to meta-sdr for uhd. Haven't seen anything. I don't have any hardware to test updates with.
