R3 didn't work for me either. I am not sure I would even bother with the support email, I think they tried hard for me last year and they couldn't revive that rev's source code at all. We abandoned our r2 Ns and just worked on the ones that were already working.

Thanks much for the info, Jason. Nope, the Rev3 bit file doesn’t work; tried it. I’ll see if the support email adr can be of use.

If you take a look at this thread from me last year, I had no luck: http://lists.ettus.com/pipermail/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com/2018-April/056223.html Also, when I pinged Ettus directly, here is some info I got back from them (from two different emails in the thread): "we've been having some trouble tracking down Rev2 bitfiles, because no one here was around when that was built. If you're trying to unbrick them, Rev3 bitfiles might be OK, but I'm not completely sure. supp...@ettus.com<mailto:supp...@ettus.com> might know more by know. really sorry, but those Rev2s are just so old. And all the people from that era seem to be gone. Sorry, can't help you with those Rev2s." ________________________________ From: USRP-users <usrp-users-boun...@lists.ettus.com<mailto:usrp-users-boun...@lists.ettus.com>> on behalf of Joe Martin via USRP-users <usrp-users@lists.ettus.com<mailto:usrp-users@lists.ettus.com>> Sent: Wednesday, May 8, 2019 11:55 AM To: Joe Martin via USRP-users Subject: [USRP-users] Bringing an elderly N210 to life by loading current firmware/fpga images I am trying to bring an elderly N210 r2.0 with unknown history to life by loading current UHD firmware and fpga images from a 1Gigabit ethernet connection on an AMD 2950X, 3.4GHz, 2TB SSD PC running Ubuntu 18.04 with UHD 3.14.0.HEAD-0-gd20a7ae2 software but having difficulty. Following instructions in “USRP Hardware Driver and USRP Manual: USRP2 and N2x0 Series”: My initial action was to load the “usrp_n210_r4_fpga.bit" file into the N210 xc3sd3400a FPGA using a Xilinx Platform Cable USB II JTAG programming cable from a Win7 PC running Xilinx ISE iMPACT, which reported “Program Succeeded” for the action. Ethernet LEDs on the N210 are variously lighted showing activity on the connection port. With the N210 connected to the Linux PC 1Gbps ethernet port, issuing the following commands result in the responses shown in the screenshot image below: <Screenshot from 2019-05-08 08-46-52.png> My (naive!) interpretation of the above responses is that the FPGA may not actually have been programmed with the *.bit code even though iMPACT reported success in programming. Can someone assist me in understanding whether my interpretation is correct or not and, most importantly, suggest what I might try next to bring this N210 to life? The “Please run:” suggestion results in the “Received invalid reply 32 from device” error. It seems no matter what I try the “Received invalid reply 32 from device” RuntimeError is reported back when I try to load any new firmware/FPGA images. Thanks! Joe
