[Discuss-gnuradio] binary update error on SD card

[Yc Park]

Hello,
I'm a newbie struggling with the new usrp2 to work...

>From the FAQ on the gnuradio.org, I found that I have to update the
image on the SD card. But I have two problems (actually more, but first
things first.)

1. As http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/USRP2UserFAQ says,
 '# Build the firmware by running make in the gnuradio/usrp2 directory
',

but my ubuntu 8.10 does not compile anything showing messages as below:
address@hidden:/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2# make
Making all in host
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/host'
Making all in include
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/host/include'
Making all in usrp2
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/host/include/usrp2'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
......
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ece/gnuradio/usrp2'

This is my first problem.

So, I downloaded the binary images from
http://gnuradio.org/releases/usrp2-bin/trunk/,
and ran

sudo u2_flash_tool --dev=/dev/sg3 -t s/w usrp2/firmware/txrx.bin -w
(my computer showed /dev/sg3 as the Flash Reader)
BUT, it showed the message below:

address@hidden:~/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware$ sudo ./u2_flash_tool
--dev=/dev/sg3 -t s/w ./txrx.bin -w
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./u2_flash_tool", line 111, in <module>
    main()
  File "./u2_flash_tool", line 97, in main
    r = (write_flash(offset, filename, options.dev)
  File "./u2_flash_tool", line 24, in write_flash
    dev.seek(offset, 0)                 # seek to absolute byte offset
IOError: [Errno 29] Illegal seek

I guess I'm stuck somewhere in gnuradio 3.1.13 or ubuntu8.10, have no
idea what to do...

Definitely need some help to start.

Thanks for your help, in advance
