Re: First appear of the USRP blocks in GNU Radio

Hi Isaac,

The USRPs were originally built with the GNU Radio project in mind. Here's probably the first email about the USRP1 in September 2002.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2002-09/msg00028.html

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2003-06/msg00010.html
links to: https://web.archive.org/web/20030610161838/http://www.comsec.com/wiki?UniversalSoftwareRadioPeripheral

Which has the line: "The Universal Software Radio Peripheral (if you have an idea for a better name, let us know)"

And the first USRPs for sale.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2004-12/msg00090.html

Reading the first few years of emails on the list is a fun way to spend an evening. Lots of people who are still around in the community or doing SDR in different spaces like Gerald at FlexRadio.

Cheers,
Derek

Hi community!

I'm Isaac. I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to add in my thesis information about the first time the USRP blocks appeared and were used. I found that the USRP1 was designed in 2004 but I'm not sure if this USRP appeared with the blocks or not.

If you know any information about it , I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Regards
