Hello Marcus, thank you for your reply.You are perfectly right. The configuration is as follow.
1) I've my devel machine 2) on the same LAN (through gigabit switch) there is the machine where the n310 is connected. 3) Both machines have ubuntu 16.04 amd64 and vivavdo tools 2017.4 4) on the machine with the n310 is running hw_server (launched as root with the option -d) 5) I connect, with the vivado hardware manager from my devel machine to the remote machine with the n310. 6) the configuration bitstream is then "programmed" from my devel machine. NOTES: * the communication between my machine and remote machine seems to be ok. I can read from the vivado gui the values of the device properties (e.g. the dna value). * I can ssh into the n310 and works fine also the serial console (tested with screes as described here https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html) * all file in /dev/seria/by-id are present * with the same machines involved I'm perfectly able to configure my X310.
