Hello all.

An unexpected error occurred recently while working with one of our USRP
B210 boards (the board has been functioning properly in the past).

UHD library version and device type are returned normally by running the
*uhd_find_devices *command:

linux; GNU C++ version 5.4.0 20160609; Boost_105800;
UHD_003.010.000.HEAD-0-g6e1ac3fc

--------------------------------------------------
-- UHD Device 0
--------------------------------------------------
Device Address:
    type: b200
    name:
    serial: F571CC
    product: B210

However, when we run the *uhd_usrp_probe* command we get the following
error:

linux; GNU C++ version 5.4.0 20160609; Boost_105800;
UHD_003.010.000.HEAD-0-g6e1ac3fc

-- Detected Device: B210
-- Operating over USB 3.
Error: EnvironmentError: IOError: Radio ctrl (0) packet parse error -
AssertionError: packet_info.packet_type == _packet_type
  in uint64_t b200_radio_ctrl_core_impl::wait_for_ack(bool)
  at
/home/kostas/workarea-uhd/uhd/host/lib/usrp/b200/b200_radio_ctrl_core.cpp:266

We have checked with different UHD setups in various hosts, both Linux and
Windows (and other USB cables as well, even tried to initialize the device
using Matlab's findsdru function) but with no luck.

We also tried to manually re-load the board firmware and fpga binary as
follows, and although this was done properly, we still get the particular
error when trying to run any uhd-related application.

./b2xx_fx3_utils -W /usr/local/share/uhd/images/usrp_b200_fw.hex -L
/usr/local/share/uhd/images/usrp_b210_fpga.bin

Operation complete!  I did it!  I did it!

Any ideas/suggestions for further debugging? Do you think that this is a
hardware-related error?

Regards,

Antonis
