The N310 stock filesystem does not have gnradio.

You are right that my focus is on the wrong thing. I just tried
benchmark_rate and tx_waveforms and they stream just fine at 1.25Ms/s.

I'm going to go back and read the documentation more carefully. We might be
saving our waveform in a form that UHD does not understand but gnuradio
does.
