UHD 4.1.0.5 released - clarification

2022-01-13 Thread Aaron Rossetto
Hello GNU Radio Community and friends of UHD,

A few weeks ago, I announced that UHD 4.1.0.5 had been released. I wish to
issue a minor clarification to some of the text in the release announcement
message.

I said, 'UHD 4.1.0.5 adds support for the NI Ettus USRP X410 Rev G, which
uses a different CPLD on the motherboard than previous revisions.' That
should have read '...adds support for the NI Ettus USRP X410 **module
revision E with motherboard Rev G**...'. Despite the minor clarification,
we continue to strongly recommend that **all** USRP X410 users regardless
of module revision upgrade their devices with the filesystem that ships
with 4.1.0.5, the instructions for which can be found under 'Updating
Filesystems' in the USRP X4xx section of the UHD manual at
https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x4xx.html.

Thank you, and happy New Year!

Best regards,
Aaron


UHD 4.1.0.5 released!

Hello GNU Radio Community and friends of UHD,

UHD 4.1.0.5 has been released!

Apart from some minor enhancements and bugfixes (see below for the complete
changelog), UHD 4.1.0.5 adds support for the NI Ettus USRP X410 Rev G,
which uses a different CPLD on the motherboard than previous revisions.
Please note that the X410 filesystem image that ships with versions of UHD
prior to 4.1.0.5 **will not** support newer revisions of the USRP X410;
thus, we strongly recommend that **all** USRP X410 users upgrade their
devices with the filesystem that ships with 4.1.0.5. Please refer to the
instructions under 'Updating Filesystems' in the USRP X4xx section of the
UHD manual at https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x4xx.html for
information on how to perform the update.
