USRP configuration utility unusable

[HB-EUM]

Hallo,

WIth either LV2010 or 2012 I'm trying to use the USRP configuration utility to change the IP of my USRPs.

Even when I press "find new device" no USRP is found. However, by using a standard "ping" command or using "uhd_find_devices.exe" the connected USRP is responding without problem.

I can also work with some examples.

Now, why is it not possible to my USRPs using the configuration utility?

This is really annoying because I'd like to update the driver to 1.1. By doing that, I also need to update the firmware....

really frustrating

hoping to get some suggestions

best Regards

I'd like to add that I tried to use the command: usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key=ip-addr --val=192.168.10.3 as described in a previous discussion forum message.

But it didn't change anything at all.

Hey HB-EUM,

Would you mind posting what you see in the command prompt when you run uhd_find_devices as well as uhd_usrp_probe?  If you are able to find the device with uhd_find_devices, you should be able to change it's IP address.  When you tried using the usrp_burn_mb_eeprom command, what was the output to the command prompt?  What is the IP address of your computer set to?  Is it statically set to something on the same subnet as your USRP?

Hallo,

thanks for your comment.

I'm joining as document some "print screen"s describing the details.

With my best regards

HB-EUM,

Could you also run ipconfig and let us know what the IP address and subnet mask is of your computer's network card?

Hi Anthony,

sure, I did for you. The attachment contains the results. I also made a "print screen" of the window xp utility "network connections".

Hoping it helps

with my best regards

It looks like you have multiple ethernet adapters, however one of the adapters does have the correct IP/subnet settings.

Is it possible to either disable the unused ethernet adapter or switch to a different computer with just a single ethernet adapter to update the firmware?

[HB-EUM]

OK,

I disabled the unnecessary adapters (note, there is only one socket for the TCP/IP cable) and I tried to rerun the various commands without success.

Please find in the attachments the details.

With my best regards

Hey HB-EUM,

Try usrp_burn_mboard_eeprom --args="addr=192.168.10.2" --key=ip-addr --val=192.168.10.3

Hallo Sarah,

indeed, by typing the following line:

usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args="addr=192.168.10.2" --key=ip-addr --val=192.168.10.3

the IP address change indeed occurred! See the attachment

I have now two USRPs with two different IP addresses.

Thanks a lot for this input!

Now, I still do not understand why both USRPs do not show up on the configuration utility. I still need to perform an upgrade from 1.0 on 1.1

best regards in the mean time
