Re: Help GRC with USRP N300

Hi Jean Marie - 2 thoughts:

1) Did you run "sudo ldconfig" after installation? Always a good idea to do that after installing anything, to update to LD cache.

2) If you run

{{{

/usr/bin/python2 -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

}}}

is one of the paths "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages"?  If not, then you need to add that path to the shell environment PYTHONPATH variable, and add it to one of the shell login command scripts. For example if you use BASH, then you could add the following to ~/.bashrc:

{{{

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:$PYTHONPATH

}}}

so that when you login this path is automatically available. You can, of course, set it in your current terminal to test / verify that doing so fixes the issue.

Hope this is useful! - MLD

Hi,

I installed UHD V3.15.0.0 and GNURadio V3.7.13.4 the loaded FPGA image is the XG. I checked the correct functioning of UHD and GNURadio as well as the USRP N300 with UHD, the tests are correct. I checked that the N300 is seen by the host PC, see the result below:

jmf6etu@JM-F6ETU:~$ uhd_find_devices
[INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 7.4.0; Boost_106501; UHD_3.15.0.HEAD-0-gaea0e2de

    mgmt_addr: 192.168.20.2
    product: n300
    type: n3xx

I did the small classic test program under GRC, see the attached screenshot, (I hope that the attached files are visible on this discussion list).

In copy if below the Terminal information lines:

Advice to solve my problems is welcome.
