SDRAngel on Windows 10 with Ettus USRP B210 not detected.
|
Hello everyone!
Thank for new version with support for USB connected USRP radios.
I am using Sdrangel V.4.21.1 and V.4.21.3 to, for Windows64. I use Windows 10.
I'm having trouble getting my USRP-B210 to work.
The software it works superbly transmit and receive with my HackRF.
But when I connect my Ettus USRP B210, it doesn't recognize it.
Tried on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, but I can't get it to recognize the hardware.
I have installed the driver for windows "erllc_uhd_winusb_driver"
What am I doing wrong...??
I need help.
Thanks!!
Victor Velez.

Hi Victor,
Do you have 64-bit UHD & the FPGA images installed? Are you have to run:
"c:\Program Files\UHD\bin\uhd_usrp_probe.exe"
And detect the device?
If not, you want to try installing them from:
https://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/latest_release/Windows-10-x64/
https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_install.html
If that doesn’t help, please send a Debug log file (Preferences > Logging > Log to file + File log level Debug – then restart SDRangel)
Regards, Jon

Hi Jon.
Thanks for answering. I just installed "uhd_4.0.0.0-release_Winx64_VS2017" , but when i run "c:\Program Files\UHD\bin\uhd_usrp_probe.exe", informs me following: "execution cannot continue because "libusb-1.0.dll" was not found". I also don't know how to install the FPGA images... I appreciate any help, because I am not a programmer. Regards, Victor.

Hi Victor,
Libusb can be downloaded from: https://libusb.info/ Under Downloads > Latest Windows Binaries. You’ll need to extract it in to c:\Program Files\UHD\bin
I can’t quite remember if the FPGA images are downloaded automatically or not. Try the above to get uhd_usrp_probe working, then let me know the next error, if there is one.
Regards, Jon

Hi Victor,
I just ran through the process again to check: - For libusb, you should copy libusb-1.0.23/MS64/dll/libusb-1.0.dll to c:\Program Files\UHD\bin - The FPGA images are included with the Windows UHD installer, so you shouldn’t need any extra files. - If uhd_usrp_probe reports ‘No devices found’ check that in Device Manager, there is a USRPs > Ettus Research LLC B200/B210 device. I’ve just noticed that uhd_usrp_probe may not work properly if you have PothusSDR installed, as this installs its own version of UHD. If so, you may need to change the environment variable UHD_PKG_PATH from C:\Program Files\PothosSDR to C:\Program Files\UHD.

Hi Jon.
Thank you very much for the info!!
I already got my B-210 to work under windows 10.
the only strange detail is that the B-210 does not deliver the RF power specified in the manual.
All measurements are about 10 dB below. The same happens to me with the HackRF One.
All measurements are between 10 and 15 db lower than expected.
I understand that this should not happen, running SDRAngel, under Linux.
For the measurements I am using a Hewlett Packard spectrum analyzer, recently calibrated.

Hi Victor,

Brgds, Edouard. PS: you should also mention how you generate the carrier (which modulator and its settings)
