First off, reburning the eeprom is the LAST step in a several step
process to make an RFX board into a MIMO_A board. The rest of the
procedure is shown here:
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/USRPClockingNotes
Secondly, why are you doing this? You have MIMO_B boards which is the
optimal setup. The only reason to make a mimo_a board is if you want to
use it with a very old rev 3 USRP, which you do not have.
