💖 usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the User Commands manual, and it's all about usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner — no cap, the name really is that long, she's giving "I was named by an engineer at 3am" energy and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner — USRP X-Series FPGA Burner 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: you take an FPGA image, and you burn it onto a USRP X-Series device that's plugged in and ready to go. That's the whole vibe. 💅

The program takes two main arguments, and here's the tea on both of them:

  • The first one is either an IP address or an NI-RIO resource — and the one you pick is literally what decides how the FPGA image gets loaded. Two paths, two methods, main character energy either way.
  • The other one is either:
    • the type of image you wanna burn — in which case the program is a real one and will go pick the default image of that type and model for you, no questions asked, or
    • a custom FPGA image path, if you're feeling ✨ bespoke ✨.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner [OPTIONS]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --addr="Address" — Device IP Address. Tell her where the device is at. 📍
  • --resource="Resource" — Device NI-RIO Resource. The other way to point at your device. 🔌
  • --rpc-port="Port" — RPC Port. Default is 5444, bestie, don't forget it.
  • --type="Type" — Image Type, and your options are 1G, HG, or XG. Pick your fighter. ⚔️
  • --fpga-path="Path" — Custom FPGA path. For when you've got your own image and you're not like other girls. 💁‍♀️
  • --configure — Initialize USRP with image currently burned onto device. Heads up: Ethernet only. 🚫📡
  • --verify — Verify image during Ethernet burn. Lowkey takes longer, but it's thorough, and we respect that. 🕵️‍♀️
  • --list — List connected USRP X-Series devices. Roll call!! 📋
  • --help — This help information. Hi bestie, here's the help. 👋

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

🔥 Burning a 1-Gigabit image over Ethernet

usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --addr=192.168.10.2 --type=1G

🔥 Burning a Hybrid image over PCIe

usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --resource=RIO0 --type=HG

🔥 Burning a custom FPGA image over Ethernet

usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --addr=192.168.10.2 --fpga=path="custom_image.bit"
yes, that last one says --fpga=path= — we do NOT fix the manpage, we report the manpage. fr fr. 💀

no warranty bestie, she said what she said 😭 read the GPL for the deets.

and that's the whole page!! this one's from UHD, version 3.7.0, and it's the usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner(1) manual — mwah, go burn something (an FPGA image, specifically). periodt. 💅✨🎀
