Trying to get B200mini-i working on Ubuntu 20.04

Trying to get B200mini-i working on Ubuntu 20.04

‎02-21-2024 02:21 PM

Here is the output from lsusb:
 
jim@pop-os:~$ lsusb

See above, the device is recognized by the linux system (Ubuntu 22.04).  Hardware is Intel i9-13900k on a Z790 motherboard.
 
When I run und_find_devices I get this output:
 
jim@pop-os:~$ uhd_find_devices
[INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 11.2.0; Boost_107400; UHD_4.1.0.5-3
[INFO] [B200] Loading firmware image: /usr/share/uhd/images/usrp_b200_fw.hex...
--------------------------------------------------
-- UHD Device 0
--------------------------------------------------
Device Address:
    serial: 3293561
    name: B205i
    product: B205mini
    type: b200
 
So again it’s finding the device.
 
But when I run und_usrp_probe I get this output indicating that something is not right:
 
jim@pop-os:~$ uhd_usrp_probe

Is anyone at NI paying attention to customers?  Ghost town.

We see the same error, with one of our B205 mini

Is the error occurring on the same USB port of the host machine, or are the two duts plugged into different USB ports?
