Why Does USRP2 Appear Instead of the USRP Device
in the NI-USRP Configuration Utility?
• An incorrect IP address on the computer may cause this error. Check the IP address and
run the NI-USRP Configuration Utility again.
• An old FPGA or firmware image on the device may also cause this error. Upgrade the
FPGA and firmware using the NI-USRP Configuration Utility.
Should I Update Device Firmware and FPGA Images?
Your device ships with firmware and FPGA images compatible with the NI-USRP driver
software. You may need to update the device for compatibility with the latest version of the
software.
The driver software media also includes the NI-USRP Configuration Utility, which you can
use to update the devices.
Why Do I Receive an Enumeration Error?
If you are using a desktop computer with the NI-USRP instrument driver installed, it is
possible that there is a compatibility issue between your computer and the PCIe card.
Complete the following steps to confirm this issue and resolve it.
1. Navigate to Start»Device Manager to confirm the issue by verifying that PCI Data
Acquisition and Signal Processing Device/Controller appears in Device Manager and
that your USRP RIO device does not.
If you cannot confirm this, then the issue is not likely caused by a compatibility problem
between your computer and the PCIe card. Contact NI or visit ni.com/support
2. Install the latest BIOS Compatibility software.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Complete the steps appropriate for your installed ADE in Verifying the Device
Connection. Repeat step 1 and observe if the outcome has changed. If you still receive an
Enumeration Error, continue to step 5.
5. Power off your computer and remove the MXI card.
6. Toggle switch 1.
7. Reinstall the MXI card and power on your computer.
8. Repeat step 4. If nothing has changed, continue to step 7.
9. Uninstall the BIOS Compatibility software. Restart your computer.
10. Repeat step 4.
If trouble persists, contact NI or visit ni.com/support.
