Wow, okay; that’s disheartening. 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.
Joe
There was a hardware change, as I recall, between Rev2 and Rev3
involving the inputs to the ADCs.

Joe, I think you might be SOL. 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."

*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
