Good morning,
My name is Javier Mauricio Suarez, I am a student of electronics engineering at Santander Industrial University in Colombia. I am working with the USRP1 and GNU Radio for my graduate project. Some days ago I had a problem that I haven't been able to solve. I try to  verify that GNU Radio works with the USRP1, for doing that I write the following code lines in the terminal:
>From the gnu radio directory:

 cd gnuradio-examples/python/usrp ./usrp_benchmark_usb.py   

cd usrp/host/apps ./test_usrp_standard_tx ./test_usrp_standard_rx   

this provided by the web page of gnu radio:   http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/UbuntuInstall#Configuring-USRP-support

In both cases, when I run these code lines I have the following warning and error:

Warning: Treating daughterboard with invalid EEPROM contents as if it were a "Basic Tx."
Warning: This is almost certainly wrong...  Use appropriate burn-*-eeprom utility.

 I am using the next hardware:
USRP1
motherboard:    Rev:4.5    serial number:6296

daughter board:    RFX 2200    STM-5    94 V  Rev 30   2400-2500 MHz transceiver

I am using gnuradio 3.4-1
and ubuntu version 10.04



I would be very greatful if you can help me with that.

Regards
Javier Mauricio Suarez

The RFX2200 came out *after* the transition to UHD, and the examples you are using are not UHD aware.
 Basically the "classic" drivers don't know anything about an RFX2200 card.


My suggestion would be to use:

http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio

To download/build/install the latest UHD plus Gnu Radio and proceed from there.

The "classic" drivers have been unmaintained and "obsolete" for two years now
