Device Troubleshooting
Why Doesn't the Device Power On?
Check the power supply by substituting a different adapter.
Why Does USRP2 Appear Instead of the USRP Device in the
NI-USRP Configuration Utility?
•
An incorrect IP address on the computer may cause this error. Check the IP address and
run the NI-USRP Configuration Utility again.
•
An old FPGA or firmware image on the device may also cause this error. Upgrade the
FPGA and firmware using the NI-USRP Configuration Utility.
Should I Update Device Firmware and FPGA Images?
USRP devices ship with firmware and FPGA images compatible with NI-USRP driver
software. You may need to update the device for compatibility with the latest version of the
software.
When you use the NI-USRP API, a default FPGA loads from persistent storage on the device.
The driver software media also includes the NI-USRP Configuration Utility, which you can
use to update the devices.
Updating Device Firmware and FPGA Images (Optional)
The firmware and FPGA images for USRP devices are stored in the device internal memory.
You can reload the FPGA image or firmware image using the NI-USRP Configuration Utility
and an Ethernet connection, but you cannot create custom FPGA images using the Ethernet
connection.
1.
If you have not already done so, connect the host computer to the device using the
Ethernet port.

NI-USRP
Configuration Utility
to open the NI-USRP Configuration Utility.
3.
Select the
N2xx/NI-29xx Image Updater
tab. The utility automatically populates the
Firmware Image
and
FPGA Image
fields with the paths to the default firmware and
FPGA image files. If you want to use different files, click the
Browse
button next to the
file you want to change, and navigate to the file you want to use.
4.
Verify that the firmware and FPGA image paths are entered correctly.
5.
Click the
Refresh Device List
button to scan for USRP devices and update the device
list.
If your device does not appear in the list, verify that the device is on and is correctly
connected to the computer.
