Hi Robin,
Thanks for thinking about this. I do set the time source- in the python script
there is a line:
self.uhd_usrp_source_0.set_time_source("sfp0")
Robert

Hi Robert. I think your issue may be that you need to set the time source in
UHD to sfp0:

Can anyone shed any light on what is going on?
Has anyone actually got an Ettus radio working with the WX firmware and a White
Rabbit switch?
FWIW, the WR switch appears happy. I've walked its SNMP tree and all seems
well. It is operating in Grandmaster mode with the one N321 hanging off its
first port.
