Latest txrx.bin files?

GNU Radio

Where are the latest txrx.bin files that support WBX?

The most recent under:
http://www.gnuradio.org/releases/usrp2-bin/trunk/

Seems to have been posted January 17th, but that is before Matts
pronouncement on Febrary 02
that the WBX-supporting txrx.bin would be posted the next day.

Help?

The WBX code for USRP2 has not been merged yet into the master branch.
After that happens, I will post the txrx_wbx.bin file in the usual
place. Prior to that, you can hand compile one by using the developer
branch ‘wip/wbx_usrp2’ in:

git://gnuradio.org/jabele

(Yes, the WBX board will require a special firmware file, txrx_wbx.bin,
that only supports the WBX and Basic/LF TX and RX boards. This is due
to space constraints.)

OK, I clearly need some guidance with “git”.

I did a git clone on git://gnuradio.org/jabele but the resulting
source tree doesn’t appear to have
the wbx support in it. I did a “git checkout wbx_usrp2”, but that
didn’t seem to update any files,
but seemed to indicate that I’d switched to that branch.

I find git to be very, well, git-ish. I’m willing to be hit upside the
head with a clue-by-four.

I have the microblaze compiler, and it appears to have generated a
txrx.bin file, but there’s not even
a hint of WBX support in the source tree I have.

You are almost there from the sounds of it. If you look where the
txrx.bin was created (usrp2/firmware/apps/), you should find
txrx_wbx.bin

also, you can check that the source code is in:
usrp2/firmware/lib/db_wbx.c
usrp2/firmware/lib/db_init_wbx.c
