[Discuss-gnuradio] DBSRX2 not recognized

[Prachi Parihar]

Hello, I'm trying to use a recently purchased DBSRX2 + USRP1 combination. Although the board shows some signs of life, it's difficult to make sense of the fft spectrum. In investigating, I found that the daughterboard id does not seem to be correct. In particular, the gnuradio software reports dbid = 18 rather than the expected 2 or possibly 13 (all numbers decimal).

This result does not depend on the particular module I run. Below I show the simplest example (usrp_print_db.py). Please see the source and result below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Prachi Parihar


address@hidden:~$ python usrp_print_db.py

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

Daughterboard Id: 18
RX d'board A: Unknown (0x0012)

print "RX d'board %s" % (subdev.side_and_name(),)
