[Discuss-gnuradio] Latest uhd and e100 fpga image seemingly incompatible

[Phelps Williams]

I completed building and installing uhd and gnuradio on an e100 last night following the directions here: http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/usrpe1xx/wiki/FAQ

I copied usrp_e100_fpga.bin from the tarball here: http://www.ettus.com/downloads/uhd_images/UHD-images-most-recent/ into /usr/share/uhd/images/ and rebooted several times (assuming the fpga image is reloaded on every boot, is this necessary?).  When running benchmark_rx_rate I get the error "Error (usrp-e recv pirate loop): bad vrt header or invalid packet length"  (See below for full runtime log).

I then tried to update manually, 

address@hidden:/usr/local/share/uhd/usrp_e_utils# ./usrp-e-utility --fpga /usr/share/uhd/images/usrp_e100_fpga.bin 

USRP-E Utility loading the FPGA...

Loading FPGA image: /usr/share/uhd/images/usrp_e100_fpga.bin... done = 1

Configuration complete.

Done!

and reboot but this resulted in the same issue.  Any idea why the e100 fpga image is seemingly not compatible with the latest UHD?  Thanks!
