I can’t find the default FPGA images for my N210 in my Ubuntu uhd installation, could someone please assist me? Here are the steps I performed to install the uhd:
I installed Ubuntu version 24.04 in my Lenovo X220 laptop (SSD wiped clean for Linux only, not dual boot).
I installed the UHD driver into that laptop using these commands (from the Ettus Research USRP Hardware Driver and USRP Manual website):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ettusresearch/uhd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libuhd-dev uhd-host
Each of these processes completed without errors.
I successfully pinged the N210 at its address: 192.168.10.2.
I executed the uhd_usrp_probe command, the first screenshot attached shows the result, indicating that the device firmware and FPGA images needed updating.
I entered the following command to update the FPGA image:
uhd_image_loader --args="type=usrp2,addr=<IP address>,reset".
The actual command string that I typed was:
uhd_image_loader --args=“type=usrp2,addr=192.168.10.2,reset”, where I used the IP address for the N210 specified in the Ettus Research N Series quick start daughterboard installation guide.
The second attached screenshot shows the terminal dialog result for this step.
Evidently the following two files are missing from my uhd installation:
usrp_n210_fw.bin
usrp_n210_r4_fpga.bin
and it cannot find the images directory.
The terminal prompt in the second screenshot is asking me to run the following command:
"/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py",
but I didn't see a "uhd" subdirectory in my "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" folder.
I tried using the Linux "find" command to look for the "uhd" subdirectory somewhere else in my Ubuntu installation, but I couldn't get the find command syntax to work properly with hidden folders.
Could someone please advise where the FPGA images should be located in my installation? Thank you.
