| − | | + | |
| − | It is strongly recommended to use the latest stable version of UHD. It is generally recommended to use the maintenance branch of the latest stable version, for example <code>UHD-3.13</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To find the latest release of UHD, see the UHD repository at https://github.com/ettusresearch/uhd.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The USRP N310 requires UHD version 3.11.0.0 or later.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The USRP N300 requires UHD version 3.12.0.0 or later.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | White Rabbit Ethernet-Based Synchronization of the N3xx USRP requires UHD version 3.12.0.0 or later. For additional details on White Rabbit Ethernet-Based Synchronization, please see the application note, [[Using Ethernet-Based Synchronization on the USRP™ N3xx Devices]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: Before operating the device, it is strongly recommended to update to the latest version of the Embedded Linux file system. If you are operating the device in Network Mode, the version of UHD running on the host machine and N3xx USRP must match.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Connecting the Device==
| + | |
| − | ===Interfaces Overview===
| + | |
| − | Listed below are the interfaces to connect to the USRP N300/N310. Each interface has specific functionality, limitations and purpose.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Serial Console'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Serial Console provides a low level interface to the device typically used for debugging.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''1 Gigabit RJ45 Connection'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The 1 Gigabit RJ45 Connection interfaces with the on-board ARM CPU. When operated in "Host mode", this interface can optionally be used for UHD management traffic. Regardless of the operation mode (Host vs Embedded) this interface can be used to connect to the ARM via SSH. By default, the 1Gb RJ45 connection is configured to use a DHCP assigned IP address.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Dual SFP+ Connections'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Dual SFP+ Connections support multiple configurations for streaming high-speed, low-latency data, depending upon the FPGA image which is loaded.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Setting up a Serial Console Connection===
| + | |
| − | It is possible to gain shell access to the device using a serial terminal emulator via the Serial Console port. Most Linux, OSX, or other Unix based operating systems have a tool called <code>screen</code> which can be used for this purpose.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you do not have <code>screen</code> installed, it can be installed via your package manager. For Ubuntu/Debian based operating systems it can be installed with <code>apt</code> such as:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | sudo apt install screen
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The default Baud Rate for the Serial Console is: <code>115200</code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The exact device node you should attach to depends on your operating system's driver and other USB devices that might already be connected. Modern Linux systems offer alternatives to simply trying device nodes; instead, the OS might have a directory of symlinks under <code>/dev/serial/by-id</code>:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ ls /dev/serial/by-id
| + | |
| − | usb-Digilent_Digilent_USB_Device_25163511FE00-if00-port0
| + | |
| − | usb-Digilent_Digilent_USB_Device_25163511FE00-if01-port0
| + | |
| − | usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_007F6CB5-if00-port0
| + | |
| − | usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_007F6CB5-if01-port0
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: Exact names depend on the host operating system version and may differ.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Every N3XX series device connected to USB will by default show up as four different devices. The devices labeled <code>"USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller"</code> are the devices that offer a serial prompt. The first (with the <code>if00</code> suffix) connects to the <code>ARM CPU</code>, whereas the second connects to the <code>STM32 Microcontroller</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have multiple N3XX Serial Consoles connected to a single host, you may have to empirically test nodes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Connecting to the ARM CPU can be performed with the command:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ sudo screen /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_007F6CB5-if00-port0 115200
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Upon starting the USRP N300/N310, boot messages will appear and rapidly update. Once the boot process successfully completes, a login prompt like the following should appear:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OpenEmbedded test ni-n3xx-313ABDA ttyPS0
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | ni-n3xx-313ABDA login:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Enter the username: <code>root</code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | By default, the <code>root</code> user's password is left blank. Press the <code>Enter</code> key when prompted for a password.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You should now be presented with a shell prompt similar to the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | root@ni-n3xx-<motherboard serial #>:~#
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Using the default configuration, the serial console will show all kernel log messages (which are not available when using SSH), and give access to the boot loader (U-boot prompt). This can be used to debug kernel or boot-loader issues more efficiently than when logged in via SSH.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Connecting to the microcontroller====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Using the Serial Console interface, it is possible to connect to the STM32 microcontroller with the command below. The STM32 controls the power sequencing and several other low level device operations.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ sudo screen /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_007F6CB5-if01-port0 115200
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The STM32 interface provides a very simple prompt. The command <code>help</code> will list all available commands. A direct connection to the microcontroller can be used to hard-reset the device without physically accessing it (i.e., emulating a power button press) and other low-level diagnostics.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Connecting to the ARM via SSH===
| + | |
| − | By default, the RJ45 1Gb management interface is configured to be assigned a DHCP IP address.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have access to a network which provides a DHCP server (such as a common router's LAN), attach the RJ45 1Gb port to this network. Details vary by vendor, however, most router management interfaces will provide a list of attached devices to the LAN including their IP address.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Without access to a router management interface, you can identify the IP address by connecting to the ARM CPU via Serial Console as detailed in the section above and running the command <code>ip a</code>:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Example Output:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | # ip a
| + | |
| − | 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000

| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you do not have access to a network with a DHCP server, you can create one using the Linux utility <code>dnsmasq</code>:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ sudo dnsmasq -i <ETHERNET_ADAPTER_NAME> --dhcp-range=192.168.1.151,192.168.1.254 --except-interface=lo --bind-dynamic --no-daemon
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: Modify the value <code><ETHERNET_ADAPTER_NAME></code> to match the interface you would like to create a DHCP server on.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After the device has obtained an IP address, you can remotely log into it from a Linux or macOS system with SSH, as shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ ssh root@192.168.1.151
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: The IP address may vary depending on your network setup.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: The <code>root</code> password default password is empty/blank.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On Microsoft Windows, the SSH connection can be established using the third-party program Putty.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After logging in, you should be presented with a shell like the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | root@ni-n3xx-<motherboard serial #>:~#
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Updating the Linux File System==
| + | |
| − | Before operating the device, it is strongly recommended to update to the latest version of the Embedded Linux file system. If you are operating the device in Network Mode, the version of UHD running on the host machine and N3xx USRP must match.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is two ways to update the file system for the N3xx USRP:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. Mender
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. Physically remove microSD card from device and write a new file system to the microSD card.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===File System Partition Layout===
| + | |
| − | The SD Card is divided into four partitions. There is two root file system partitions, a boot partition and a data partition.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Any data you would like to preserve through Mender updates should be saved to the <code>data</code> partition, which is mounted at <code>/data</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Updating the file system with Mender===
| + | |
| − | Mender is third-party software that enables remote updating of the root file system without physically accessing the device (see also the Mender website https://mender.io). Mender can be executed locally on the device, or a Mender server can be set up which can be used to remotely update an arbitrary number of USRP devices. Users can host their own local Mender server, or use servers hosted by Mender as a paid service; contact Mender for more information.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Mender Update Process====
| + | |
| − | When updating the file system using Mender, the tool will overwrite the root file system partition that is not currently mounted. Any data stored in the root partitions will be permanently lost with a Mender update.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After updating a partition with Mender, it will reboot into the newly updated partition. Only if the update is confirmed by the user, the update will be made permanent. This means that if an update fails, the device will be always able to reboot into the partition from which the update was originally launched, which presumably is in a working state. Another update can be launched now to correct the previous, failed update, until it works.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To obtain the file system Mender image (these are files with a <code>.mender</code> suffix), run the following command on the host computer with Internet access:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ sudo uhd_images_downloader -t mender -t n3xx --yes
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Example Output:
| + | |
| − | [INFO] Images destination: /usr/local/share/uhd/images
| + | |
| − | 451639 kB / 451639 kB (100%) n3xx_common_mender_default-v3.14.0.0.zip
| + | |
| − | [INFO] Images download complete.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: In the output of the command, the folder destination where the images are saved is printed out.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Next, you will need to copy this Mender file system image to the USRP N3xx. This can be done with the Linux utility <code>scp</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | $ scp /usr/local/share/uhd/images/usrp_n3xx_fs.mender root@192.168.1.51:~/.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note: The path and IP may different for your configuration, the command above assumes you're using the default installation path of <code>/usr/local</code> and that the N3xx's IP is <code>192.168.1.51</code>.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After copying the Mender file system image to the N3xx, connect to the N3xx using either the Serial Console, or via SSH to gain shell access.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On the N3xx, run <code>mender -rootfs /path/to/latest.mender</code> to update the file system:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | root@ni-n3xx-serial:~# mender -rootfs /home/root/usrp_n3xx_fs.mender
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Example Output:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | root@ni-n3xx-serial:~# mender -rootfs /home/root/usrp_n3xx_fs.mender

| − | | + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The artifact can also be stored on a remote server:
| + | |
| − | $ mender -rootfs <http://server.name/path/to/latest.mender>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This procedure will take a few minutes to complete. After mender has logged a successful update, reboot the device:
| + | |
| − | $ reboot
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If the reboot worked, and the device seems functional, commit the changes so that the boot loader knows to permanently boot into this partition:
| + | |
| − | $ mender -commit
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To identify the currently installed Mender artifact from the command line, the following file can be queried on the N3xx:
| + | |
| − | $ cat /etc/mender/artifact_info
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you are using a Mender server, the updates can be initiated from a web dashboard. From there, you can start the updates without having to log into the device, and you can update groups of USRPs with a few clicks in a web GUI. The dashboard can also be used to inspect the state of USRPs. This is a simple way to update groups of rack-mounted USRPs with custom file systems.
| + | |

| − | ===Updating the files system by writing the disk image===
| + | |
| − | Please see the separate application note, [[Writing the USRP File System Disk Image to a SD Card]], for step-by-step instructions on writing the file system image to the SD card.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Updating the Network Configurations==
| + | |
| − | The USRP N300/N310 systemd network configuration files are located at: <code>/etc/systemd/network/</code>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # ls /etc/systemd/network/
| + | |
| − | eth0.network sfp0.network sfp1.network
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For details on configuration please refer to the [https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.network.html systemd-networkd manual pages].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The factory settings are as follows:
| + | |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | eth0 (DHCP):
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [Match]
| + | |

| − | [Link]
| + | |
| − | MTUBytes=8000
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Additional notes on networking:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Care needs to be taken when editing these files on the device, since <code>vi</code> / <code>vim</code> sometimes generates undo files (e.g. <code>/etc/systemd/network/sfp0.network~</code>), that <code>systemd-networkd</code> might accidentally pick up.
| + | |
| − | * Temporarily setting the IP addresses or MTU sizes via <code>ifconfig</code> or other command line tools will only change the value until the next reboot or reload of the FPGA image.
| + | |
| − | * If the MTU of the device and host computers differ, streaming issues can occur.

| − | ===Supported Sample Rates===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The USRP N300/N310 supports the three fixed Master Clock Rates listed below.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * 122.88 MHz
| + | |
| − | * 125.00 MHz
| + | |
| − | * 153.60 MHz
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Sample rates as delivered to/from the host computer for USRP devices are constrained to follow several important rules.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It is important to understand that strictly-integer decimation and interpolation are used within USRP hardware to meet the requested sample rate requirements of the application at hand. That means that the desired sample rate must meet the requirement that master-clock-rate/desired-sample-rate be an integer ratio. Further, it is strongly desirable for that ratio to be even. This ratio is the decimation (down-conversion) or interpolation (up-conversion) factor. The decimation or interpolation factor may be between 1 and 1024. There are further constraints on the decimation or interpolation factor. If the decimation or interpolation factor exceeds 128, then it must be evenly divisible by 2. If the decimation or interpolation factor exceeds 256, then it must be evenly divisible by 4.

| + | |
| − | The UHD driver includes several example programs, which may serve as test programs or the basis for your application program. The source code can be obtained from the UHD repository on github at: https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/tree/master/host/examples
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can quickly verify the operation of your USRP N300/N310 by running the <code>rx_ascii_art_dft</code> UHD example program.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The <code>rx_ascii_art_dft</code> utility is a simple console based, real-time FFT display tool. It is not graphical in nature, so it can be easily run over an SSH connection within a terminal window, and does not need any graphical capability, such as X Windows, to be installed. It can also be run over a serial console connection, although this is not recommended, as the formatting may not render correctly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can run a simple test of the N300/N310 USRP by connecting an antenna and observing the spectrum of a commercial FM radio station in real-time, following the steps below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. Attach an antenna to the <code>Ch0/RX2</code> antenna port of the N310.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. From your host computer, run the command:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <pre>
| + | |
| − | $ /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/rx_ascii_art_dft --args "master_clock_rate=125e6,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.10.2" --freq 98.5e6 --rate 2.5e6 --gain 50 --ref-lvl="-50" --dyn-rng 90 --ant "RX2" --subdev "A:0"
| + | |
| − | </pre>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: Modify the command line argument <code>freq</code> above to specify a tuning frequency for a strong local FM radio station. You will also need to update the IP Address to match your device IP.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. You should see a real-time FFT display of 2.5 MHz of spectrum, centered at the specified tuning frequency.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. Type "<code>Q</code>" or <code>Ctrl-C</code> to stop the program and to return to the Linux command line.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 5. You can run with the <code>--help</code> argument to see a description of all available command-line options.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Example Output:
| + | |

| − | ===Benchmarking your system===
| + | |
| − | Included with the UHD driver example programs is a utility, <code>benchmark_rate</code> to benchmark the transport link of the system.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A system's maximum performance is dependent upon many factors. <code>benchmark_rate</code> will exercise the transport link and CPU of the system.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====1 Gb Interface====
| + | |
| − | NOTE: This example requires the <code>HG</code> FPGA image to be loaded.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This example will test one full-duplex stream using "RF0/A:0", at a rate of 3.84 MS/s, for 60 seconds:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/benchmark_rate \
| + | |
| − | --args "type=n3xx,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.10.2,master_clock_rate=122.88e6" \
| + | |
| − | --duration 60 \
| + | |
| − | --channels "0" \
| + | |
| − | --rx_rate 3.84e6 \
| + | |
| − | --rx_subdev "A:0" \
| + | |
| − | --tx_rate 3.84e6 \
| + | |
| − | --tx_subdev "A:0"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This example will test four full-duplex streams at 1.25 MS/s, for 60 seconds:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/benchmark_rate \
| + | |
| − | --args "type=n3xx,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.10.2,master_clock_rate=125e6" \
| + | |
| − | --duration 60 \
| + | |
| − | --channels "0,1,2,3" \
| + | |
| − | --rx_rate 1.25e6 \
| + | |
| − | --rx_subdev "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1" \
| + | |
| − | --tx_rate 1.25e6 \
| + | |
| − | --tx_subdev "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When streaming samples over a 1 Gb transport link, the maximum accumulative rate for all channels is 25 MS/s with a <code>sc16</code> OTW format. To achieve higher streaming rates, it is recommended to use the 10 Gb interfaces.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====10 Gb Interface SFP 1====
| + | |
| − | NOTE: This example will work with either the <code>HG</code> or <code>XG</code> FPGA image.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This example will test one full-duplex stream using "RF0/A:0", at a rate of 31.25 MS/s, for 60 seconds:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/benchmark_rate \
| + | |
| − | --args "type=n3xx,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.20.2,master_clock_rate=125e6" \
| + | |
| − | --duration 60 \
| + | |
| − | --channels "0" \
| + | |
| − | --rx_rate 31.25e6 \
| + | |
| − | --rx_subdev "A:0" \
| + | |
| − | --tx_rate 31.25e6 \
| + | |
| − | --tx_subdev "A:0"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This example will test four full-duplex streams at 30.72 MS/s, for 60 seconds:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/benchmark_rate \
| + | |
| − | --args "type=n3xx,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.20.2,master_clock_rate=122.88e6" \
| + | |
| − | --duration 60 \
| + | |
| − | --channels "0,1,2,3" \
| + | |
| − | --rx_rate 30.72e6 \
| + | |
| − | --rx_subdev "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1" \
| + | |
| − | --tx_rate 30.72e6 \
| + | |
| − | --tx_subdev "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Dual 10 Gb Interface====
| + | |
| − | NOTE: This example requires the <code>XG</code> FPGA image to be loaded.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This example will test four full-duplex streams at 62.5 MS/s, for 60 seconds:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | /usr/local/lib/uhd/examples/benchmark_rate \
| + | |
| − | --args "type=n3xx,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.151,addr=192.168.10.2,second_addr=192.168.20.2,master_clock_rate=125e6" \
| + | |
| − | --duration 60 \
| + | |
| − | --channels "0,1,2,3" \
| + | |
| − | --rx_rate 62.5e6 \
| + | |
| − | --rx_subdev "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1" \
| + | |
| − | --tx_rate 62.5e6 \

| − | ===Turning the Device Off/On===
| + | |
| − | To avoid damaging the file system and causing any corruption, do not turn the device off with the power button without first shutting down the system. Use this command to cleanly and properly shut the system down:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | shutdown -h now
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Enable Auto Booting===
| + | |
| − | Auto booting of the N310 when power is applied can be configured by enabling the flag on the device's EEPROM with the following command:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | eeprom-set-flags 0x1
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Default Password===
| + | |
| − | The default user is <code>root</code> and the password is empty (no password).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It is recommended to update the <code>root</code> password, which can be done with the command <code>passwd</code>:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Example Output:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | root@ni-n3xx-serial:~# passwd
