[USRP-users] Fwd: X300 PCIe Installation

[Kyle von Bredow]

While trying to set up the X300 for use over PCIe using the National
Instruments PXIe-4353 I have run the INSTALL script for the NI USRP RIO
drivers and it appears to run successfully. However, once I run
uhd_find_devices (which works just fine with a couple N210's) it does not
find the X300.

Right after the installation, if I try to stop the process with "sudo
niusrprio_pcie stop" I receive the following error:

Stopping: niusrpriorpc
Unloading: niusrpriok FATAL: Module niusrpriok not found.
NiRioSrv

and "sudo niusrprio_pcie start" yields a similar output:

Loading: NiRioSrv niusrpriok FATAL: Module niusrpriok not found.

Starting: niusrpriorpc

Also, when I run the UNINSTALL script I get this message: "nip2pi not
installed, skipping." although I see nothing in the INSTALL output that
would tell me there was an error. I have attached the output of the INSTALL
in case I missed something.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.4 with the 3.11.0-23-generic kernel.

Thanks for any assistance,
Kyle von Bredow

It ended up being the install script in niusrprio for 64-bit Ubuntu, I was
able to fix it and install the X300 over PCIe with the following change to
the INSTALL script:

2539,2540c2539,2540
< if declare -f niusrpriokiPostInstall > /dev/null; then
< postInstall=niusrpriokiPostInstall
---

if declare -f niusrpriokiPostInstall64 > /dev/null; then
postInstall=niusrpriokiPostInstall64

However, after finding this, I looked at the similar section for Red Hat
based systems (starting at line 3667) and found that it checked for both
versions of the post-install script, so I'm not sure what the proper fix
is, but I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem.

Hi Kyle,

I'm sorry you had to find this the hard way, but we introduced the bug that
you found in the latest installer code push. I have fixed the INSTALL
script to call to correct bitness of the postInstall methods. If you
download the installer now, it should include my fixes. Also, the "nip2p
not installed skipping" message is actually normal for 64-bit systems. I
have also suppressed that message so it does not cause confusion.

Thanks for the feedback! We really appreciate it!

Best,
