Firmware Problem

Post by SDR-Radio.com »

Hi,

After performing an upgrade as shown on https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/wiki/U ... F-firmware the results are:

Code: Select all

> bladerf-cli.exe -i
bladeRF> version

  bladeRF-cli version:        0.6.0-git-
  libbladeRF version:         0.7.0-git-

  Firmware version:           1.7.0-git-ee89b79
  FPGA version:               0.0.0

bladeRF> exit

When I run the latest CLI compiled by downloading the GIT I get

Code: Select all

E:\bladeRF>bladerf-cli -i
Failed to open device (first available): Operation timed out

E:\bladeRF>
Help.

The version output is showing v0.6.0 of libbladeRF and v0.7.0 of the CLI.

You mentioned building libbladeRF and the CLI from source, having checked out the latest from git in another post. (I replied to that noting that the Windows installer is sorely out of date.)

I believe you should be set back on course if you build the latest and greatest bladeRF.dll and bladeRF-cli.exe from source (which will report v0.11.0 and v0.16.0). I suspect you have these installed somewhere, given that the newer versions will warn about version incompatibilities, as you mentioned seeing one of these messages.
