💖 USRP_UPDATE_FS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to usrp_update_fs(1) — she's a User Command, she lives in section 1 of the manual, and she's literally the glow-up your embedded UHD device has been waiting for. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

usrp_update_fs: — a lil wrapper around uhd_images_downloader, but make it for embedded UHD devices. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the vibe is: here's how you call her 👇

usrp_update_fs [-h] [--image IMAGE] [-y] [-m MANIFEST] -d DEVICE_TYPE
               [-t GIT_TAG]

USRP filesystem update. That's the whole thing, that's the job. 🎀

now here's the tea: if you run it with no options at all, it resets the filesystem back to the state it was originally in — but keeping the same version. That's a "factory reset", periodt. 🧚

want a specific version instead? then you use -m or -t and pick exactly which new filesystem you want. and listen — -t master will update you to the very latest filesystem image, no cap. 👑

⚠️ heads up bestie: most options require access to the internet, because she's gotta download the latest manifest and/or filesystem image. no wifi, no slay. 😭

🌈 optional arguments 🌈

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exits. bye. 🫶
  • --image IMAGE — the binary image of the filesystem update. if you pass this, all other options are ignored (she said main character only 💅). can be a file or a URL. ✨
  • -y, --yes — answers the questions with yes. auto-yes, auto-slay. 🔥
  • -m MANIFEST, --manifest MANIFEST — manifest source. can be a file or a URL. overwrites -t. 👑
  • -d DEVICE_TYPE, --device-type DEVICE_TYPE — specify/overwrite the device type.
💀 DANGER! May brick device if used incorrectly! — this is not a drill, bestie, be so careful. 😭
  • -t GIT_TAG, --git-tag GIT_TAG — she'll try and locate the given git tag or branch and grab the corresponding manifest. ignored when -m is given. using this requires internet access. 🌐

and that's the whole page, no notes. go update something. 🎀✨

this iconic lil manual page comes to you from the USRP_UPDATE_FS source, dated July 2021 — mwah, sending love, take care of your filesystem bestie 💖🦋
