sdruload
Load FPGA and firmware images for USRP radio
Add-On Required: This feature requires the Communications Toolbox Support Package for USRP Radio add-on.
Syntax
Description
sdruload(
loads the
default FPGA and UHD™ firmware images for the specified device. For example, 'Device'
=radioDevice)sdruload
('Device'
='USRP2'
).
Firmware images are the UHD versions compatible with the Communications Toolbox™ Support Package for USRP™ Radio.
If the device is a USRP2™ radio, this syntax writes the images to an SD card.
If the device is an N2xx series radio, this syntax loads the default images to the radio at IP address 192.168.10.2.
You can obtain the compatible UHD version number using the getSDRuDriverVersion
function.
Note
If the device is an N2xx series radio, sdruload
uses the
uhd_image_loader
utility or the
usrp2_card_burner.py
Python® script provided by Ettus Research™ for burning firmware images to the device.
Warning
When burning images with the card burner, it is possible for you to overwrite your hard drive. To avoid accidentally overwriting the wrong drive, when using the card burner script, carefully select the correct drive for the radio.
sdruload(
specifies options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to the input arguments
in the previous syntax. For example, to specify the SD card
drive as 'Device'
=radioDevice, Name=Value
)S:
, set 'Drive'
to
'S:'
.
