Uhd drivers compatible with usrp1

GNU Radio
1

hi all,

I have been using a usrp1 device for some time now and i have been
recommended to upgrade to uhd drivers for better support. I want to
ask is there much difference in using uhd driver as im very much
familiar with previous drivers now and can i easily use uhd drivers
too?? Plus is there some compatibility issues of usrp1 with the uhd
drivers???

Thanks for your help

Regards,
Ebtisam

Basically, to switch, you replace the usrp1 source/sink in your flow
graph with a uhd source/sink. The names of the members to set sample
rate and frequency will be different.

All of the features in libgnuradiousrp1 should be supported in UHD. In
addition, UHD gives you support for new daughterboards. I also dare say
the API is easier to code to than libgnuradiousrp1. :slight_smile:
