Hi Marcus, What is the best way to check the hardware revision? I don't have one in front of me, but one of the other engineers checked the label on a N320 and doesn't see a revision letter (at least it isn't obvious if it's there). Or can this be checked with uhd_usrp_probe. The only thing we see there is:

So, if (and only if) you have a N320 in a revision that's C or greater, you're safe. Otherwise, please don't connect a 5V source to the PPS input for now.
