The easiest way to create new blocks is to build them "outside the tree", as shown in gr-howto-write-a-block. That way they're available to you, and your Makefiles don't get hosed everytime we make a change on the trunk. > 2) For custom FPGA builds.

E.g., /usr/local/share/usrp/rev2 vs rev4. Copy your .rbf into both.
