I just updated the repository at [GitHub - mepard/N210CeVI: 100 Msps support for Ettus USRP N210](https://github.com/mepard/N210CeVI).

- It’s compatible with the latest UHD host library.
- It no longer requires a modification to the UHD host library.
- uhd\_streamer uses the channel API to switch to the 2nd DSP chain for  
100 Msps.
- uhd\_streamer builds and works on Windows.
- The client/server feature in uhd\_streamer uses TCP instead of file  
locks and FIFOs.

Enjoy.

Does this mean that the update disables the N210’s transmit capability?  
or  
that the 100 MSps only works on the receive side?

The FPGA has no tx-side signal chain, no logic to receive tx packets,  
etc. It can’t transmit at all. The main reason is that the 100 Msps rx  
mod uses the N210’s SRAM for rx buffering, so it’s unavailable for tx  
buffering.
