Device Overview
The USRP E310 offers a portable stand-alone SDR platform designed for field deployment. The flexible 2x2 MIMO AD9361 transceiver from Analog Devices provides up to 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and spans frequencies from 70 MHz – 6 GHz to cover multiple bands of interest.

Daughterboard Specifications
E310 MIMO XCVR board
The USRP E310 MIMO XCVR daughterboard features an integrated MIMO capable RF frontend.
Tuning
The RF frontend has individually tunable receive and transmit chains. Both transmit and receive can be used in a MIMO configuration. For the MIMO case, both receive frontends share the RX LO, and both transmit frontends share the TX LO. Each LO is tunable between 50 MHz and 6 GHz.
Gains
All frontends have individual analog gain controls. The receive frontends have 76 dB of available gain; and the transmit frontends have 89.5 dB of available gain. Gain settings are application specific, but it is recommended that users consider using at least half of the available gain to get reasonable dynamic range.
LO lock status
The frontends provide a lo-locked sensor that can be queried through the UHD API.
// assumes 'usrp' is a valid uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::sptr instance
// get status for rx frontend
usrp->get_rx_sensor("lo-locked");
// get status for tx frontend
usrp->get_tx_sensor("lo-locked");
Filter and Antenna Switches
The transmit and receive filter banks uses switches to select between the available filters. These paths are also dependent on the antenna switch settings. Incorrectly setting the switches generally results in attenuated input / output power. Receive filters are band pass (series high & low pass filters), transmit filters are low pass.
Source code related to controlling the filter band and antenna switches resides in e300_impl.c
. Specifically, refer to methods e300_impl::_update_bandsel
, e300_impl::_update_atrs
, e300_impl::_update_gpio
, and e300_impl::_update_enables
. Generally, these methods set the switches depending on the state of transmit and receive streams.
The following sections provide switch setting tables for antenna and filter selection for frontends A & B receive and transmit paths. For futher details refer to the schematics.
Side A Filter and Antenna Switches
Note: X = don't care, T = If full duplex, set bits according to transmit table, otherwise don't care. Filter range A – B will be selected if A <= freq < B.

SD Card Images
This folder linked above contains SD card images and the SDK (OE cross-compiler build environment) for the USRP E310 and E312. There is a manifest file that shows which packages, and which versions, are included in the OE build within each folder.
The "alpha
", "beta
", "e3xx-release-001
", "e310-release-002
", "e3xx-release-3
" folders contain older versions which are currently obsolete. We do not suggest that customers use these files. These versions are no longer supported. They are provided here for archival purposes only.
The current version is Release 4, which located in the "e3xx-release-4
" folder. We recommend the customers use this version. It is fine if you are already successfully using an older version, but at some point it is recommended that you upgrade to this current version so that you benefit from the latest bug fixes, new features, stability improvements, and other enhancements.
The Release 4 image includes UHD 3.9.2 and GNU Radio 3.7.9, and also includes the corresponding FPGA image file.
Note: An 8 GB SD card is required for the Release 4 image.
The SD card image contains both the FPGA image and the OS for the E310/E312. The FPGA images are located in the file system of the E310/E312 in the /usr/local/share/uhd/images
folder.
There are two SD card image files for each version of the image, which include the text "-dev
" and "-demo
" in the filename. The "-dev
" flavor lacks some graphical packages, such as X Windows and QT, which the "-demo
" flavor includes. The two flavors are otherwise functionally equivalent, although the "-demo
" flavor takes some additional space on the SD card and some additional memory to run.
The Release 4 image comes in two varieties. The variety that you will need depends on the product number of your E310 or E312, which is printed on the bottom of the device.
For the E310, the product number will be 156333X-01L
, where X is a letter from A to Z. For devices where X is A, B, C, D, the images under the "ettus-e3xx-sg1
" folder should be used. For devices where X is E or later, the images under the "ettus-e3xx-sg3
" folder should be used. You must use the appropriate image for your specific device. The incorrect image will not work, and will only boot as far as the U-Boot boot loader before stopping.
For the E312, the product number will be 140605X-01L
, where X is a letter from A to Z. The images under the "ettus-e3xx-sg3
" folder should be used for all E312 devices.
You can burn the image to an SD card using either the "dd
" or the "bmaptool
" tool. Instructions on how to use these tools are at the links below.
The SD image files have an *.xz extension, as they are compressed using the LZMA/LZMA2 compression algorithms. You can uncompress these files with tools such as 7-Zip and the XZ Utils. Please see the links below for further information.
