Multiple USRPs same machine

Hi,

Is it possible to use two USRPs on the same machine? I’m having trouble
finding in the USRP constructors (python or C) where you tell it which
board to use if it finds multiple.

Thanks,

I’m also interested in this… what I have been doing is connecting one,
loading an image,
and then disconnecting and connecting another and loading an image.

Ok, so this question was in fact as stupid as I thought it might be. The

parameter which_board does in fact control which USRP is chosen.

The list of USRPs seems to be a stack, at least in Python (most recently
connected is number 0). Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I’m not sure about the order. It’s in the order that libusb presents
them to us (this could also very from OS to OS). However, if you care
about which is which, after loading the firmware into them you can
check each board’s serial number.

FWIW, you can fetch the serial number:

which = …

u = usrp.source_c(which)
s = u.serial_number() # s is a string
