✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It finds UHD-supporting Ettus Research products that are attached by USB, network, or embedded configuration. 🦋

The UHD package? It's the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research products. The whole goal is to give you a host driver and API for current and future Ettus Research products. You'll be able to use the UHD driver standalone, or with 3rd party applications. no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

🔥 IDENTIFYING DEVICES 🔥

Devices are addressed through key/value string pairs. Those string pairs are how you narrow down the search for a specific device or a whole group of devices. Most UHD utility applications and examples have a --args parameter that takes a device address, and that device address is expressed as a delimited string. For reference, go read the documentation in types/device_addr.hpp. 📚

Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system. periodt. 💅

👑 Identifying by hardware identifier

All Ettus Research devices can be found through their hardware series identifier, and those match to devices like this:

• type=usrp1 → USRP1
• type=usrp2 → USRP2, USRP N200, USRP N210
• type=b100 → USRP B100
• type=b200 → USRP B200, USRP B210
• type=e3x0 → USRP E310
• type=x300 → USRP X300, USRP X310
• type=octoclock → OctoClock

🍓 Identifying by serial number

All Ettus Research devices are given a unique serial number (yes, every single one, unique, we love that for them 💖), and you can use it to identify a device like this:

serial=12345678

🌸 Identifying by IP address

USRP2, USRP N200, USRP N210, USRP X300, USRP X310, and OctoClock devices connected to the host machine can all be found through their IP addresses, like this:

addr=192.168.10.2

🧚 Identifying by name

Users have the option of giving their devices short names using the usrp_burn_mb_eeprom and octoclock_burn_eeprom utilities in lib/uhd/utils. Devices that have been given a name can be identified like this:

name=foo

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

💜 Device discovery via command line

Device address arguments can be supplied to narrow the scope of the search. slay. 🔥
