• Download and Install UHD

  $git clone git://ettus.sourcerepo.com/ettus/uhd.git
  $cd ~/uhd/host/

  $mkdir build

  $cd build

  $cmake ../

  $make

  $make test

  $sudo make install

  $sudo ldconfig

• Download and Install GNURADIO

  $git clone git://gnuradio.org/gnuradio.git

  $cd ~/gnuradio

  $git branch --track next origin/next

  $git checkout next 

  $./bootstrap

  $PKG_CONFIG_PATH=~/uhd/host/build/

  $export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

  $./configure --enable-gr-uhd

  $make

  $make check

  $sudo make install

  $sudo ldconfig

• Configure USRP Support

  $sudo addgroup usrp
  $sudo usermod -G usrp -a <YOUR_USERNAME>
  $echo 'ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="fffe", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", GROUP:="usrp", MODE:="0660"' > tmpfile
  $sudo chown root.root tmpfile
  $sudo mv tmpfile /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usrp.rules
  $sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

• Configure UHD USRP2
  1. Download the latest FPGA driver and FIRMWARE from http://www.ettus.com/download
  2. Write the fpga and firmware on USRP2 SD card using usrp2_card_burner.py and usrp2_card_burner_gui.py scripts. The scripts are available at http://ettus-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/repository/revisions/master/changes/host/utils/
  3. Connect SD card with USRP2 and boot USPR2. Now the USRP2 should be accessible at ip address 192.168.10.2.
