Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Doubt about FPGA code and firmware

Hello,

if you plan to use any part of the USRP2's hardware (daughterboard, ADC, UART, ethernet, ...) and don't want to implement all the steps required to configure and use them properly, I would suggest to integrate your code parallel to the vanilla system (the UHD one!), it is far more work to get it running otherwise. The firmware does a lot of stuff. If you don't plan to use the hardware why not use a Spartan evaluation kit instead, they have nicer I/O capabilities for experimenting and testing?

Since this design is just a combination of filters, multiplexers and signal generators and I am going to test it using an oscilloscope, not the GbE interface, I was wondering if I need to load the actual firmware (txrx.bin).
