Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2

[Derek Kozel]

Hello Nour,

That page is wildly out of date. Please *do not* install GNU Radio 3.4.2! It is very old and your experience trying to get it working with the up to date USRP driver code, UHD, will be painful. What Linux OS are you using? If you are using an Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, or possible Debian version, then the process can be very simple.

There are two pieces of software that you need to use your USRP2 with GNU Radio, the UHD Driver from Ettus Research and GNU Radio itself which includes blocks for the USRP radios in the gr-uhd module.

I recommend using the build-gnuradio script from this page, or the PyBOMBS tool. Both will install up to date versions of UHD and GNU Radio with a minimum of hassle as long as your OS is supported.

Hi,

What errors have you seen with make?

For an easier way, you might try using a Docker image, which simplified the installation process for me.
After installing Docker, you only need to download and run an image, which has the software and all of its dependencies already built.

Here is an image that includes gnuradio and uhd, and allowed me to use a USRP2: https://hub.docker.com/r/marcelmaatkamp/gnuradio/

More info on Docker:

hope this helps,

Hello,

I am attempting to install USRP2 for gnuradio (I am on a Linux system). The instructions given in the gnuradio instructions page appear to be broken, where upon trying run “make” to install gnuradio version 3.4.2 returns errors that have been very difficult to resolve. Is there an easier way to install USRP2 than by downloading gnuradio 3.4.2? And has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks very much!

Nour Alharithi
