E310 in Network Mode

Hi,

We have a couple of E310s w/SD cards that are running UDH 3.009.003. I would like to initially use it in network mode with GnuRadio running on a Linux Host. Either an Ethernet connection or even over USB would be sufficient for the current needs. I do understand that the performance may not be optimal over the network but that it can be done.

We have installed UHD on a Ubuntu 18.04 host with version 3.010.003. The E310 DHCPs an address and the Linux Host can ssh into the E310 and visa vesa. Both usrp_find_devices and uhd_usrp_probe on the host return "No UHD Devices Found" but this appears to be expected from reviewing previous forum posts WRT E310. Addionally I was able to get an old USRP1 up and running from the Ubuntu host without any issues.

Would it be possible to obtain the steps to configure the E310 for either Ethernet or USB setup. Thanks in advance. Tom

There's some documentation here:

https://files.ettus.com/manual_archive/release_003_009_007/html/page_usrp_e3x0.html#e3x0_network_mode

Note that most pre-built UHD packages DO NOT include support for the
E310 in network mode--as noted in the above documentation.

Unless you have strong reasons NOT to, you might consider a much newer
UHD version on both your host and the E310--In UHD 4 and newer, network
  mode is supported without the need for a separate "server" program. 
But if you're sticking with Ubuntu 18.04, you'll need to do a source build.

Marcus, Thanks… I have no problems with doing an upgrade to a newer UHD version, will give it a shot. Regs Tom
