USRP Radio Firmware Update
R2026bWhy Download New Firmware?
The Communications Toolbox™ Support Package for USRP™ Radio uses a specific version of the UHD™ software on the host computer side. If the USRP radio has a different version of UHD firmware installed, you might not be able to communicate with the USRP radio and use the support package.
Note
For the Bus Series devices, you do not need to check or update the firmware. It is automatically loaded when the device is plugged in.
You can update the UHD firmware using the sdruload function.
Updating USRP Radio Firmware
Before updating the radio firmware, make sure that the radio is connected to and communicating with the host computer. If not, see Guided USRP Radio Support Package Hardware Setup.
Update Networked Series Radio Firmware
Calling the sdruload function in MATLAB® with the following parameters loads the default images to a radio at default
IP address 192.168.10.2:
sdruload('Device','dev')Depending on which Networked Series device you have connected, replace
'dev' with n200 or
n210.
You can specify additional parameters, such as a non default IP address and non
default firmware and FPGA images. See sdruload.
