USRP SDR Firmware Update

[Curtis13]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to update the FPGA firmware on a USRP X310 SDR (as per https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_images.html), as the USRP configuration utility seems to show that an update is needed. However I cannot seem to find the correct firmware for my device. Trying the latest pre-built image (4.0.0) gives an error, indicating that the device is already updated. Moreover, I cannot seem to find the uhd_images_downloader script. Can anyone please inform me which image I should be using?

Thanks

Curtis

Hi Curtis,

For the uhd_images_downloader.py, have you tried a system wide search via

sudo find / -name "uhd_images_downloader.py"

It seems to be a common problem that the script is not at the expected location (find/print_utility() error on official ubuntu packages · Issue #43 · EttusResearch/uhd)

Best regards

On Linux the uhd_images_downloader.py is build into an application and typically installed to /usr/local/bin/uhd_images_downloader. So if you cannot find uhd_images_downloader.py, try searching for the application uhd_images_downloader instead.
