In the "old days" prior to about 2 years ago, the USRP2 and USRP1 
devices (all that existed at the time) had their own individual APIs, and
  applications/examples were written *knowing* which interface type 
they were using.

Then along came UHD, which provides a universal API for all of Ettus' 
devices, and gr-uhd is the little piece of "glue" that glues Gnu Radio
  to the UHD device stack.

But hardly anyone converted their examples to use UHD, and that task is 
now being done by Tom Rondeau and others.

Further, some of the new devices, notably E100, B100, N2XX, and newer 
daughtercards are only available with a UHD driver interface.

So any applications/examples that haven't been ported to using UHD 
cannot work with non-UHD devices, and the E100 USRP-type device
  only "speaks" UHD.

The "next" branch has examples that have been converted to use UHD, 
which should "just work" on your E100 platform.  Although not
  all the examples have been converted yet.
