[Discuss-gnuradio] UHD Announcement - April 01st 2011

[Josh Blum]

Hello list,

As promised, we have official releases for UHD and binary installers.

http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Binary installers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installers are available for ubuntu, fedora, apple, and windows os. See
the link for detail about what OS versions are specifically supported.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Images
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Firmware and FPGA images now come included with the binary installers.
However, they are also available individually for download for users who
are running UHD from a source checkout. The master branch of the UHD
will work with the images provided in the latest release.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Other mentionables
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* There is now a gui app available for the USRP-N Series image burner.

* Windows users, the uhd.dll is now installed into the runtime path.
Your %PATH% should now include <prefix>/bin and not <prefix>/lib. I
recommend to clean the old install.

* Redhat linux family 64 bit users, the LIB_SUFFIX is now automatically
set to 64. There may be some confusion if you were not manually setting
this and your libs were installed into /usr/local/lib, they will now
show up in /usr/local/lib64. I recommend to clean the old install.
