uhd_find_devices - USRP Hardware Driver Discovery Utility
Find UHD-supporting Ettus Research products attached by USB, network or embedded configuration.
The UHD package is the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research products. The goal is to provide a host driver and API for current and future Ettus Research products. Users will be able to use the UHD driver standalone or with 3rd party applications.
uhd_find_devices [OPTIONS]
Devices are addressed through key/value string pairs. These string pairs can be used to narrow down the search for a specific device or group of devices. Most UHD utility applications and examples have a --args parameter that takes a device address, where the device address is expressed as a delimited string. See the documentation in types/device_addr.hpp for reference.
Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system.
All Ettus Research devices can be found through their hardware series identifier, which match to devices as follows:
Argument | Device
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
All Ettus Research devices are given a unique serial number, which can be used to identify a device as follows:
serial=12345678
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, as follows:
addr=192.168.10.2
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 as follows:
name=foo
Device address arguments can be supplied to narrow the scope of the search.
