Alternate fpga image

I’ve tried placing my usrp_std.rbf in /usr/local/share/usrp/rev2 (I have
a
rev3 board) as well as in rev4, but that fails to load my firmware… I
also
tried eiding transmit_path.py (testing gmsk) to be:
self.u = usrp.sink_c(fusb_block_size=self._fusb_block_size,
fusb_nblocks=self._fusb_nblocks,
fpga_filename=“/usr/local/share/usrp/rev2/usrp_std.rbf”)

at line 109 and that causes:
[root@localhost digital]# ./benchmark_tx.py -f 10e6 -r 100k -M .01
Can’t find fpga bitstream: /usr/local/share/usrp/rev2/usrp_std.rbf

yet:
[root@localhost digital]# ls -la /usr/local/share/usrp/rev2/
total 748

did I miss something?

You can specify the fpga image to load using the fpga_filename keyword
argument. E.g.,

u = usrp.sink_c(fpga_filename = ‘myfile.rbf’)

Sorry, I must have been asleep when I sent this :wink:

FWIW, the reason we tack on the “path to the standard place” (which
includes the rev) is to avoid accidentally loading an rbf for the
wrong board rev into the USRP and killing it.
