[Discuss-gnuradio] Dead USRP box?

[Bob Cameron]

Hi All

I purchased a USRP some time ago, had it working and then left it for a while.

I suspect that the USB port has been zapped.

Question. Is it safe to assume that there should be some kind of response in /var/log/messages on connection of the USB cable?

I have tried the usual switching of ports and cables, pulling daughterboards, the LED is blinking and the 24MHz oscillator can be heard on the nearby HF radio.

I can no doubt tackle the debugging by looking up the chip specs. Any start point ideas would be welcome though.
