Hi, I have two questions about X310 firmware, please. 1. I want to use two 10GigE ports, so need the XGS image. When I download this with uhd\_images\_downloader.py, I get the error that indicates a firmware mismatch (Expected FPGA compatibility number 0x4, but got 0x3.0). I am using the latest live GNURadio DVD based on GNURadio v3.7.4. I think this indicates to me that the XGS firmware downloaded is not the latest. Where can I get the latest, or one that is compatible with GR 3.7.4 please? 1. Using the HGS image from the live DVD (GR 3.7.4, it is happy about the compatibility, being 0x4) burned onto the X310, the example applications mostly seem to work OK, except rx\_samples\_to\_file. When this is run, it works fine (with the 1GigE port), except it will only run once when using the 10GigE port. When run again is complains about a recoverable error, then won’t run thereafter. A power cycle is required, as the X310 seems to lock up completely and cannot be detected by any of the example applications again. I am using an Intel X520 based adaptor as recommended in the manual, and a copper passive direct attach SFP+ cable. Other example apps such as rx\_timed\_samples and benchmark\_rate work fine. I am also using a recent XGE driver as provided with Centos 6.3. Thanks for any help, David ---

You’re probably better taking this to the usrp-users mailing list. What version of UHD does the LiveDVD include? The uhd\_images\_downloader.py downloads firmware/fpga images that match the version of UHD it thinks you have on your system, just to your local disk. It doesn’t not burn said images into the USRP device. You used the fpga image burner? Did you power-cycle afterwards?

Thanks Martin, I’ll check the usrp-users list. I thought the version on the LiveDVD was 3.7.4, but Johnathan is correct, my bad. All the same though, the XGS firmware seems to be somewhat hard to get, I just came across it by doing a uhd\_images\_downloader.py, got excited, and it turned out to be too old. What is annoying is that the X310 documentation specifically refers to the XGS firmware, but where is it? Cheers and Thanks, David
