Re: 3.9/3.10 and UHD Firmware

[Eric McDonald]

Marcus - thanks for the quick response.

I had added the PPA with:

  add-apt-repository ppa:gnuradio/gnuradio-releases

which appears correct.

I just installed 'gnuradio' and 'uhd-host' and all the tools were installed so I was able to flash and get it to work.

I don't know what the issue was - I think maybe I just needed to do an 'apt update' and an 'apt install gnuradio-dev --upgrade' as it appears that my gnuradio-dev was a little bit out of date:
gnuradio-dev/now 3.10.4.0-0~gnuradio~focal-1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 3.10.5.0-0~gnuradio~focal-1]

In any case, thanks for the help as it got me to the solution which is all I care about for now.

Eric

My guess is you have a PPA configured, and different components are
being fetched from the regular Ubuntu repository and
   whatever PPA you're pointing at.

The default version of GR for Ubuntu 20.04 is GR 3.8.1.0.

You might try package "uhd-host" to get the host tools installed.
