How to build USRP2 binary for BASIC RX/TX from scratch

Hi
I am a student who is working on the radar signal processing project using
custom firmware, retaining as much of the original code as we can. To wet my
feet, I must build the binaries for USRP2 for BASIC RX/TX from scratch. I
got the git but am somewhat lost in the maze. I need to know which is the
top level makefile which builds the entire project OR perhaps a bunch of
makefiles that build parts of it. Also the process of going from the coed to
the files to be burned on the SD. I do have xilinx ISE12.4.

Hi,
I have a USRP1 that was working fine, but I can no longer communicate with it.
Is there anywhere I can diagnose the problem?

Thanks in advance,

PS. I am using Ubunto 10.10

Hi Farhad;

With the USRP1 USB connected what does 'lsusb' and 'lshw' show you?

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, I can see the device in the
list of attached USB devices but I can not communicate with it.

I am going to test it on another computer today to see if it works.

Best regards,
Farhad

The usrp2/top/u2_rev3 directory has the top level makefile you need.
