The firmware build for the USRP radio at '192.168.10.2' is not compatible with the host code build. Update the USRP radio firmware to version '003.008.002-vendor'.

hi,

Now i'm using Matlab R2015b for communicate with USRP X300. I also tried sdruload but it come out with

Radio at IP address '192.168.10.2' is not a 'x300' device. Type 'help findsdru' to get more information on connected radios.

How to solve the problem based on attachment below? Hope to get a good solving from other user.

Thank you.

That device needs at least firmware 3.9.1 . http://lists.ettus.com/pipermail/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com/2015-November/016900.html

If you already have that release or newer then findsdru might not support it yet. I see from the message it is suggesting firmware 3.8.2 which is not going to work on that device.

MATLAB R2015b must use UHD 3.8.2. The solution is to load the FPGA image corresponding to UHD 3.8.2 onto the radio.

Run the following MATLAB command:

>> call_uhd_app('usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner','--addr=192.168.10.2','-echo')

Then power-cycle your radio and you can use it in MATLAB.

[Yo]

Just to clarify: sdruload is still recommended. Under the hood, it uses usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner.

>> sdruload('Device','X300','IPAddress','192.168.10.2')

[Walter Roberson]

UHD 3.8.2 is not supported in the device the user has. Compare the product code to to the link I posed above: the device is too new to use 3.8.2 and must use 3.9.1 or newer. That means it will not work with up to R2015b (I have not looked to see what is supported for R2016a)

You can use the UHD utility "usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner" to load the FPGA image onto the X300. Run the following MATLAB command: >> call_uhd_app('usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner','--addr=192.168.10.2','-echo')

Then power-cycle your radio and you can use it in MATLAB.

Hi, 

I'm working on connecting the USRP N210 to my laptop.

I installed the Support package from mathworks.com https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/usrp.html

When I run the getSDRuDriverVersion function in Matlab 2016a, I get an answer

Ans = 003.009.001-vendor

When I run the function:

radios = findsdru, I get an answer

I can not find FPGA compatibility number 11. 

Please can anybady help me..

I recommend that you create a new Question for that.
