NAME
usrpctl - USRP Hardware Driver Peripheral Configuration Tool
DESCRIPTION
Report detailed information on UHD-supported Software Radio Peripherals attached by USB, network, or
embedded configuration. Allows update and configuration of attached devices.
The UHD package is the universal hardware driver for Ettus Research products. The goal 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.
Details include unit names, revision numbers, and available sensors on all attached USRP motherboards and
daughterboards.
SYNOPSIS
usrpctl [ID] COMMAND [OPTIONS]
ID
ID is the optional device argument. It is used to define a set of USRP devices that COMMAND should be
applied to. If ID is omitted COMMAND is applied to all reachable devices.
usrpctl understands the device args argument used by other UHD tools like uhd_find_devices.
COMMAND
Is the action the tool is to take. Every command can be either applied to a single device or a group of
devices. Commands that run on a group of devices repeat the command for every device.
- Single device commands:
- config: Read/write configuration variables (e.g., IP address)
- probe: reads extended information about the USRP - Multi device commands:
- update: Update binaries (e.g., FPGA image)
- reset: Reset the specified subcomponent(s) of the USRP
- find: finds all available USRPs in this network
OPTIONS
The options are not always mandatory. It depends on the given COMMAND.
find command
The find command takes no further options. If ID is not given it scans the system for available,
supported devices and prints a list of discovered devices. The print out is compatible to
uhd_find_devices. ID can be used to narrow down the list of discovered devices.
probe command
Print a complete property tree:
-tree
The probe command can only be applied to a single device so make sure that
ID identifies exactly one device. Without arguments it displays detailed information about the
device such as name, serial, revision numbers, firmware version sensor information on attached
motherboard and daughterboards.
reset command
Reset MPM:
-mpm
The reset command resets specified subcomponents of a device. If ID is not
given, it scans the system for available, supported devices and resets the specified subcomponent
of all discovered devices.
EXAMPLES
usrpctl find
find all supported devices
usrpctl type=x300,product=X310 find
find all x310 devices
usrpctl name=my_usrp find
find a device named my_usrp
usrpctl addr=192.168.10.2 find
find a device with the given IP.
usrpctl addr=192.168.10.2 probe
display device information for USRP with the given ID
usprctl name=my_usrp probe -tree
display property tree of device with the name my_usrp
usrpctl addr=192.168.10.2 reset -mpm
Resets MPM on the device with the given IP.
