Way around to use USRP X310 with latest UHD or with UHD 3.8.2 in Matlab 2015b ?

Initially my USRP X310 came with FPGA Firmware version 13. The SIMULINK 2015b gave error related to incompatible firmware image while using the block SDRuReceiver.

I uploaded the latest image using uhd_image_loader which updated my fpga version to 20.0. Now when I run the SDRuReceiver block, it gives an error saying incompatible FW Version, expected version 3.0 but you have 4.0 version.

I check the host version installed on my PC using getSDRuDriverVersion() command in Matlab which returned "003.008.002-vendor", however the latest firmware I uploaded was 003.0010.104-vendor.

I again uploaded a new fpga image this time making sure its compatible with Matlab host version. When I did that, I got the error:

---------- begin libuhd warning message output ----------

X300 unknown product code in EEPROM: 30818

---------- end libuhd warning message output ----------

I used the 'findsdru' matlab command to find the cause and it is returning unknown_error. I am aware that for Rev.6 and earlier, the product code for X310 is:"30410" and for Rev. 7 and later, the product code for X310 is: "30818". Upgrading to new UHD will solve the problem as mentioned in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.usrp.e100/16175 but it than become incompatible with MATLAB.

Is there any way around to use X310 with latest UHD or with UHD 3.8.2 in MATLAB ?

Newer X310s do not work with UHD 3.8.2. R2016a version of the support package will use 3.9.1 and will be available in early March 2016.

Just installed MATLAB 2016a. The X310 rev7 is working all good with Simulink.

Any inputs on how to use PCIe-MXI interface with USRP X310 AND Simulink?

Answer 4

[Mir Lodro]

I have installed PCIe 10GigE to work with USRP x310 and use Simulink for model development. The USRP x310 works fine with 1GigE but fails with PCIe interface. I have installed the drivers and the ports are visible in network area of host PC, but the radio can't communicate with host PC.

Can you please suggest solution to the problem I am facing?
