NAME¶

uhd_find_devices - Universal Hardware Driver Discovery Utility

DESCRIPTION¶

Find UHD supporting Software Radio Peripherals attached by USB, network or embedded configuration. The UHD is the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research products. The goal of the UHD is to provide a host driver and api for current and future Ettus Research products. Users will be able to use the UHD driver standalone or with 3rd party applications. Hardware supporting UHD drivers includes the Universal Software Radio Peripheral, or USRP, available in several models.

SYNOPSIS¶

uhd_find_devices [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS¶

Device Address Arguments:

--args arg

This help information:

--help

IDENTIFYING USRPS¶

Devices are addressed through key/value string pairs. These string pairs can be used to narrow down the search for a specific device or group of devices. Most UHD utility applications and examples have a --args parameter that takes a device address; where the device address is expressed as a delimited string. See the documentation in types/device_addr.hpp for reference.

Common device identifiers¶

Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system: Identifier Key Notes Serial serial globally unique identifier Address addr unique identifier on a network Name name optional user-set identifier Type type hardware series identifier

EXAMPLES¶

Device discovery via command line¶

Devices attached to your system can be discovered using the "uhd_find_devices" program. The find devices program scans your system for supported devices and prints out an enumerated list of discovered devices and their addresses. The list of discovered devices can be narrowed down by specifying device address args. Device address arguments can be supplied to narrow the scope of the search.

uhd_find_devices --args="type=usrp1"

-- OR --

uhd_find_devices --args="serial=12345678"

Find all devices available to this system:

uhd_find_devices
