UHD is an entirely different project from GNURadio. UHD provides the firmware & API for Ettus Research SDRs. GNURadio has support for UHD-compatible devices, through gr-uhd, but they are different projects. You can, in fact, install GNURadio without UHD, and use GNURadio with SDRs that are not USRPs, or without any actual hardware at all.

If you want to build GNURadio with the gr-uhd component, you will need to build and install UHD prior to building & installing GNURadio. You didn't say what was keeping you from building UHD in your last e-mail, so I don't really have any information to help you yet. If you still need help, send your error messages to the USRP-Users list, linked above, and we will do what we can to help you =)

Cheers,

Ben

Hello,

I'm new to gnuradio and have downloaded the Debian packages as well as
built from source. However, in these builds there is no uhd kernel
driver. And in your latest release candidate above there is no kernel
driver either.

Looking at the ettus webpage,

http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki

there seems to be a separate git directory for the driver:
git clone git://code.ettus.com/ettus/uhd.git

in addition to the rest of the code:
git clone git://gnuradio.org/gnuradio

However, I did not manage to build the driver either with cmake or the
autotools yet.

Additionally, from the uhd wiki there are links for Ubuntu, Fedora and
Darwin, not Debian. Any ideas how to build/find a pre-packaged driver to
get started? There also seems to be a script available, also for Ubuntu
+Fedora, not Debian.

Thanks!
