Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] usrp_n200_r3_fpga.bin build error

[Rahman, Muhammad Mahboob Ur]

Hi Ian,

I have tried to build using 14.4; it took me about 40 minutes but eventually 
the process finished gracefully. So, we will stick to 14.4 for the time being.

Now, I can see u2plus.bin file in /build-N200R3. I hope this is the intended 
file; i.e., it is equivalent to pre-compiled usrp_n200_fpga_r3.bin file. Right?


Thanks,
Mahboob

OK, if you have yet to change any files from the default and that is the result 
of a build then I strongly suspect the ISE version.
2013.1 has not been used to try to build any of the USRP databases yet.
2012.4 (14.4) is known to work for N200, and production images for N200 as 
supplied by Ettus are still built using ISE12.1.
I'll load 2013.1 later today and see if I can reproduce your problems.
