Simulink and USRP

Hi,

Doe the USRP2 require specific FPGA and firmware contents to interface
with simulink? When I turn on the USRP2 with the SD card in, all 6 leds
flash and then D and F stay on. Does this mean my SD card is properly
programmed with the correct content?

Thanks!

This is totally the wrong list for this type of question, since SimuLink
requires special firmware and FPGA images.

You should post your question on usrp-users, or talk to the SimuLink
folks.

Hi,

There is some information on the mathworks site for this

http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/comm/ref/a1083164701.html#bsnml9_

http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-D2KBPZ/index.html?solution=1-D2KBPZ

The above information mentions some UDP firmware, I was under the
impression that you could use the USRP2 UHD drivers and firmware located
here, with Simulink:

Unless the Mathworks folks have very recently updated their “stuff” to
use UHD, you can’t use the UHD images for Simulink. Simulink
used (and continues to, as far as I know) a firmware/FPGA image that
used UDP encapsulation, but it’s totally incompatible with
UHD–it was very “beta” and that line of development was never
maintained, but that’s what the SimuLink people standardized on.
