Hi,
We just bought the USRP1 device and the daughterboard DBSRX2 to Ettus company. The software installation was done from Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 11.04 and the WARNING result was the same in both cases. I explain a little the process and tests:
We have installed all the dependencies to install UHD driver (003,002,003) in the two versions of Ubuntu and Gnuradio (Gnuradio 3.2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 and Gnuradio 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 11.04). The tests we have done in the two releases of Ubuntu are:
1) Execute the UHD: command uhd_find_devices with the result:
Linux, GNU C + + version 4.5.2; Boost_104200; UHD_003.002.003-release
It seems all right as because it detects the card DBSRX2 on RXA motherboard , isn't it?.
3) But when execute any Gnuradio exmple python script like : usrp_benchmark_usb.py the warning are:
Testing 2MB/sec... Warning: Treating daughterboard with invalid EEPROM contents as if it were a "Basic Rx." Warning: This is almost certainly wrong... Use appropriate burn-*-eeprom utility.
uUuUuUuUuUuUuUusb_throughput = 2M ntotal = 1000000 nright = 998049 runlength = 998049 delta = 1951 OK Testing 4MB/sec... Warning: Treating daughterboard with invalid EEPROM contents as if it were a "Basic Rx."
Warning: This is almost certainly wrong... Use appropriate burn-*-eeprom utility.

4) Also if execute the airprobe command: dbusrp -f 937000000 the warnings is the same

My questions are:
What are the warnings?, Why Gnuradio don't recognize the DBSRX2 board?, I had done any wrong in my installation process?
I'm a little desesperate because i saw that in diferent OS (ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 11.04 with different gnuradio versions the warning persist and i can't use gnuradio with my new DBSRX2 board.
