  • Page 2 Linux operating system running on ARM CPU. All Ettus Research products are individually tested before shipment. The USRP is guaranteed to be functional at the time it is received by the customer. Improper use or handling of the USRP can cause the device to become non-functional. Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the unit.
  • Page 3 Devices. When you receive a brand-new device, it is strongly recommended that you download the most recent filesystem image from the Ettus Research website and write it to the SD card that comes with the unit. It is not recommended that you use the SD card from the factory as-is.
  • Page 4 Enter the username: ? root By default, the user's password is left blank. Press the key when prompted for a password. root Enter You should now be presented with a shell prompt similar to the following: root@ni-n3xx-<motherboard serial #>:~# Using the default configuration, the serial console will show all kernel log messages (which are not available when using SSH), and give access to the boot loader (U-boot prompt).
  • Page 5 USRPs with a few clicks in a web GUI. The dashboard can also be used to inspect the state of USRPs. This is a simple way to update groups of rack-mounted USRPs with custom file systems. For more information on updating the file-system, refer to the UHD Manual at ?https://uhd.ettus.com. Please see the separate application note,...
  • Page 6 9000 For addition details on network configuration here: https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_network_configuration The FPGA image should match the version of UHD installed on the host computer, when operated in Network mode. Connect the device to the host computer using either the RJ45 or SFP+ port, refer to the section above for detailed instructions.
  • Page 7 [INFO] [MPMD IMAGE LOADER] Update component function succeeded. For more information on updating the FPGA image, refer to the UHD Manual at http://uhd.ettus.com The device supports multiple, high-speed, low-latency interfaces on the SFP+ ports for streaming samples to the host computer.
  • Page 8 Proceed to the next section "Verifying Device Operation". For more details on Network Setup and Configuration, please see the ?Interfaces and Connectivity? section on the N300/N310 N320/N321 hardware resources pages. Once you have successfully setup a management interface and streaming interface, you can now verify the devices operation using the include UHD utilities.
