I had already uninstalled previous versions of UHD before
 installing the latest UHD.

 I just uninstalled HDSDR and the ExtIO+USRP package to ensure it's
 not the obstacle.

 Same results:

 Error: RuntimeError: Expected firmware compatibility number 8.0,
 but got 4.0:

 The firmware build is not compatible with the host code build.

 As an Administrator, please run:

 Is there something I can do to troubleshoot where it's getting the
 firmware it is comparing compatibility numbers with?

 Do I need to do something manually WITH the downloaded images?

Any news regarding this? Otherwise I will simply try patching a V13 FPGA image to V12 and see what is happening :) Ralph.

Here is what I have done to try to understand the problem. I installed UHD_003.009.001-release which gave me new firmware and fpga images. I still had usrp_b200_fpga.bin and usrp_b200_fw.hex images from ExtIO_USRP… installed in my b200 Ran uhd_image_loader –args=”type=B200” which loaded the fpga image but not the fw image Ran uhd_usrp_probe but it failed. Cycled the power Ran uhd_usrp_probe – the fw image was loaded, detected device: b200, then loaded fpga image Success – reported B200 Revision 4, FW version 8, and FPGA version 11 Renamed C:\Program Files (x86)\UHD\share\uhd\images to imagesold and created new images Placed usrp_b200_fpga.bin in the new images directory Ran uhd_image_loader –args=”type=B200” which loaded the fpga image but not the fw image Ran uhd_usrp_probe but it complained that there was no usrp_b200_fw.hex in the images directory Put the usrp_b200_fw.hex from UHD_003.009.001 into the images directory Ran uhd_usrp_probe – it reported detected device: B200 and operating over USB 2 and then it failed reporting “Error: RunTimeError: Expected FPGA compatibility number 11 but got 3: The FPGA build is not compatible with the host code build.” Replaced usrp_b200_fw.hex with the version from ExtIO_USRP… Ran uhd_usrp_probe – it reported that it was loading the firmware: usrp_b200_fw.hex and then it failed reporting “Error: RunTimeError: Expected firmware compatibility number 8 but got 4: The firmware build is not compatible with the host code build.” It appears that the images from ExtIO_USRP… are not compatible with each other and fpga images is not compatible with firmware version from UHD_003.009.001. I also download uhd-images_003.008.001-release and attempted to use usrp_b200_fpga.bin and usrp_b200_fw.hex and got a similar error “Error: RunTimeError: Expected firmware compatibility number 8 but got 7: The firmware build is not compatible with the host code build.” An interesting side note is that uhd_image_loader –args=”type=B200” –fw=usrp_b200_fw.hex results in the system report that the FPGA images is loading not the firmware.
