ANTSDR UHD

This repo contains both the uhd host driver and firmware for microphase antsdr devices.

Directories

firmware/

The source code is the firmware that runs on the e200 device and communicates between the fpga and the UHD. The directory contains fpga source code, firmware uboot and linux kernel source code. The root file system is made by petalinux. And you must use this file system to support the firmware to work.

host/

The source code is the UHD driver developed by Ettus, and we have added the driver interface of E200 based on its source code.

Quick start guide

ANTSDR-E310v2/ANTSDR-E200 for linux user

Step 1

Download the pre-built image from the release.

Step 2

Burn the pre-built image into a SD card. Insert your SD card into you computer, using dmesg to get the sd card mount point.

As you can see, the sdcard mount point is /dev/sdb. Then you can burn the sd card with dd command. Actually, you can delete all the partition of your sd card first.

dd if=/path/to/your/download/image of=/path/to/your/sd/mount point bs=2M

for example:

dd if=~/e200.img of=/dev/sdb bs=2M
sync

Step 3

Insert the SD card into the ANTSDR-E200/E310v2's SD card slot, and power on the device. The Led will flash when the system is running. By default the ANTSDR has a static IP address 192.168.1.10, you can ping this address to check the network status.
Step 4

Follow This link to build and install the host uhd driver for ANTSDR-E200/E310V2.

ANTSDR-E310v2/ANTSDR-E200 for windows user

Step 1

Download the pre-built image from the release.
Step 2

Burn the pre-built image into a SD card. You can use win32disk manger or other tools to burn the sd card.
Step 3

Insert the SD card into the ANTSDR-E200/E310v2's SD card slot, and power on the device. The Led will flash when the system is running. By default the ANTSDR has a static IP address 192.168.1.10, you can ping this address to check the nnetwork status.
Step 4

Download the windows uhd driver uhd_3.15.0.0-0-0e6d9cd3_Win64.exe from the release. Install the .exe on your computer.
