USRP Hardware Driver™ software (UHD™)¶
The USRP Hardware Driver™ software (UHD™) is the hardware driver for all USRP devices. It works on all major platforms (Linux, Windows, and Mac) and can be built with GCC, Clang, and MSVC compilers.
The goal of the UHD software is to provide a host driver and API for current and future Ettus Research products. Users will be able to use UHD software standalone or with third-party applications, such as:

- Can you attach a minimal example that demonstrates the problem?
- Screenshots, time domain, and frequency plots can also be helpful.
Building FPGA Images¶
- Pre-built FPGA and firmware images are available on the build page.
- To build the images yourself, see the notes in the FPGA README.
GNU Radio + USRP Hardware Driver Software (UHD)¶
GNU Radio is a popular SDR development toolkit commonly used with USRP devices. For information on how to install GNU Radio alongside UHD software, click here.
