NAME

uhd_image_loader - UHD Image Loader

DESCRIPTION

Burn firmware and FPGA images onto connected Ettus Research devices.

SYNOPSIS

uhd_image_loader [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS

List options:
--help

Device and loader arguments:
--args=""

Custom firmware filepath:
--fw-path=""

Custom FPGA filepath:
--fpga-path=""

Don't burn firmware:
--no-fw

Don't burn FPGA:
--no-fpga

SPECIFYING A PARTICULAR DEVICE

Without any arguments given through the args="" option, this utility will start a session
with the first Ettus Research device it sees. The arguments shown below will narrow down
the utility's search for a particular device:

All devices
The name= and serial= arguments can be used to specify any device except an uninitialized
USB device or an OctoClock bootloader. The type= argument can be used to specify any
device, as described below:

"type=" argument

Argument | Device

type=usrp2 | USRP N200, USRP N210

type=b200 | USRP B200, USRP B210

type=e100 | USRP E100, USRP E110

type=e3x0 | USRP E310

type=octoclock | OctoClock

NOTE: The USRP1, USRP2, and USRP B100 are not supported.

Network devices
By default, this utility will check all network interfaces for network-based devices, but
a specific IP address can be specified with the addr= argument.

NI-RIO devices
An X-Series devices connected via PCIe can be specified by its NI-RIO resource through the
resource= argument, and the RPC port through which to communicate with it can be specified
with the rpc-port= argument. Using these options is not recommended, as their default
values are almost always used.

OctoClock devices
An OctoClock's name and serial are only exposed when the firmware is loaded, so if the
device only has a bootloader, only the addr= argument can be used to find it.

DEVICE-SPECIFIC LOADER OPTIONS

Certain devices have specific options for customizing their image loading process, and
these can be passed in through the --args="" option. These arguments are specified below:

USRP N200, USRP N210
The overwrite-safe option will overwrite the device's safe-mode firmware and FPGA images.
This is NOT RECOMMENDED, as these images serve as the backup if the device's primary
images are corrupted.

The reset option will automatically reset the device once the loading process finishes.
When the device resets, it will have its new images loaded.

USRP X300, USRP X310 (Ethernet only)
The configure option will automatically reset the device once the loading process
finishes. When the device resets, it will have its new FPGA image loaded.

The verify option will tell the device to internally verify the integrity of the image as
it loads. This greatly increases the loading time.

EXAMPLES

Load only the default FPGA image onto a specific N2x0 device and reset
uhd_image_loader --args="type=usrp2,addr=192.168.10.2,reset" --no-fw

Load a custom FPGA image onto a specific X3x0 device
uhd_image_loader --args="type=x300,addr=192.168.40.2" --fpga-
path="/home/user/my_x300_fpga_image.bit"
