Martin, Yes. I have visited the link you sent me. That is where I discovered the misnamed file path. Usrp3/top instead of usrp2/top, but I have no top files through either of those file paths do it didn't matter anyways. I believe the apt-get command were through my not reading completely. Those were for the UHD code. ISE is properly installed without any issues.

First, have you checked out the FPGA manual: http://files.ettus.com/manual/md_fpga.html Second, none of the apt-get commands you quote are required, but you have to make sure ISE is properly installed (Xilinx have their own resources to explain this). Once that's a-OK, running 'make' should be pretty straightforward. As you're building your own image, I'm assuming you're familiar with Xilinx tools, or at least are planning to get there. If you just need a stock image, you don't have to go through this step. Finally, please stay on the list (i.e. answer to the mailing list address) so everyone will be able to read and answer.

Great, then you're all set! Good luck with your FPGA development. Cheers, Martin

When I use the command 1. 'aaron@waled-Precision-WorkStation-670:~/Desktop/uhd-images_003.008.001-release/share/uhd/images$ make -f usrp_n210_r3_fpga.bin' I get the error 'usrp_n210_r3_fpga.bin:1: warning: NUL character seen; rest of line ignored usrp_n210_r3_fpga.bin:1: *** missing separator. Stop.' or if I use this command, as is specified in the FPGA manual, 'aaron@waled-Precision-WorkStation-670:~/Desktop/uhd-images_003.008.001-release/share/uhd/images$ make usrp_n210_r3_fpga.bin' I get the error 'make: Nothing to be done for `usrp_n210_r3_fpga.bin'.' I must be doing something wrong.

Aaron, Reading back through your posts to the list I think you may have some fundamental miss-understandings with how ISE works. Fundamentally .bin files are the *output* products of ISE, they contain all the compiled configuration data required to program the FPGA. They are not *input* files to ISE, they do not capture source code information. To run ISE you require Verilog or VHDL source code files. In the case of N210R3 the FPGA source files are located in directories below: $(AARANS_UHD_INSTALL)/fpga-src/usrp2. To compile the FPGA design for N210R3: cd $(AARANS_UHD_INSTALL)/fpga-src/usrp2/top/N2x0 make N210R3 -Ian On Jun 18, 2015, at 7:09 AM, Aaron Henderson via USRP-users <usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > When I use the command > 1.
