Hi Neel, Thank you!
I think moving forward this might be a better solution. Since I have no experience with it: 1. I'll just go with your Intel X710-DA2 recommendation (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Ethernet-Converged-X710-DA2-X710DA2/dp/B00NJ3ZC26) but I think I need some SFP+ module, right? 2. Does it matter which SFP+ module I use? Any recommendation? What about this one? https://www.amazon.com/10Gtek-SFP-10G-T-S-Compatible-10GBase-T-Transceiver/dp/B01KFBFL16 3. Would you even recommend using glass fibre instead of copper? Thanks, Luke PS: As a first step I am trying Wheberth's auggestion right now but my experience with NI RIO on Windows was very poor so I want to opt for 10Gbe in the long run Gesendet: Montag, 24.

(Windows, Linux, which one?) Hello Lukas: Do you have the option of using 10 Gbps Ethernet? It will provide you the equivalent performance on the X300/X310 as the PCIe interface. The Intel X710-DA2 network card works very well out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.10. Most people using Linux and GNU Radio with the X300/X310 use Ethernet, instead of PCIe. --Neel Pandeya On Mon, 24 Feb 2020 at 12:38, Robin Coxe via USRP-users <usrp-users@lists.ettus.com[mailto:usrp-users@lists.ettus.com]> wrote: Hi Lukas. Most USRP X310 Linux users employ 10gigE to connect to the host PC. PCIe on the USRP X310 uses a proprietary ASIC and the driver is, as you discovered, built on an obsolete kernel. You could attempt to appeal directly to NI for support if switching to 10 gigE isn't an option for you. -Robin On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 10:23 AM Lukas Haase via USRP-users <usrp-users@lists.ettus.com[mailto:usrp-users@lists.ettus.com]> wrote:Hi, I have used USRP X310 over PCIe and gnuradio on Windows for quite a bit. I suffered from large connectivity issues so I wanted to switch to Linux for quite some time. Also, I need to start modifying gnuradio/uhd source which is even more painful in Windows. I set up an Ubuntu 18.04 system (which is not exactly new) and in the last step Linux NI RIO Installation fails. And https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_ni_rio_kernel.html[https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_ni_rio_kernel.html] states: "Currently, the latest supported kernel version is 4.2.x.". What a bummer! Is there any way to get USRP X310 + PCIe working on Ubuntu 18.04? If not, what is the recommended setup when someone needs PCIe, gnuradio, source code? I would really prefer a Debian-like Linux system that's not completely outdated (such as pre-bionic). Best, Lukas PS: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
