Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to get source code for the stock FPGA binary

Hi,

I have a USRP2 rev3.01 and I want to modify the FPGA code for experimentation. However, I don't want to get the current FPGA code version (head version) because , if I'm not mistaken, it supports the new UHD interface which I don't use in my host application. So my questions are:

1. Can I get the source code for the stock FPGA of the USRP2 version I have ? If yes, how ?
2. If I can't get the stock FPGA source code, then is it possible for a USRP2 using the latest FPGA binary to work with a host who does not use the UHD interface ?

Thanks,
Leonard

I don't know if anyone else replied to you or not, but I *may* be able to get some older USRP2 FPGA code on one of my computers here,
  but it may take a couple of days.  It would be code that's a couple of years old at this point.

Also, you may be interested to know that my SBRAC project, noted below, is taking place at the Shirleys Bay campus, using the old
  Kennedy dish there.  The receiver is based on Gnu Radio and a USRP2 with a WBX daughtercard.
