Hallo Martin, Concerning the vanilla UHD-example: I'm just remember, that I've couldn't find an example on your repository, where you used multi_usrp in combination with RFNoC. Before we used our FPGA-Image in our CPP-Application we tested it with GNU-Radio. But there we tested just one channel (I think it's not possible to use in GNU-Radio something like multi_usrp, right?) So I think, in GNU-Radio behind the scene is directly a device3 initialized, right? So, and there we hadn't the problem. The problem was only in our CPP-Application using the multi_usrp. But I haven't tested to initialize just a single device3. I could do this, if it helps!
