Issue Details

I am interested in making some changes in the filters and signal processing done in the USRP 2900 FPGA. Is possible to modify the FPGA?

Solution

Unfortunately using the NI USRP API for this purpose is not feasible in this specific device.

DISCLAIMER: While this process is technically possible, NI does not officially support it, and does not provide any technical support for it, and the user performs this process at their own risk. The process is documented here as a convenience to users. However, in general reimaging in the same environment like NI USRP for 294x and 295x is acceptable. Cross reimaging for different environments is risky for NI USRP family devices but not for Ettus devices.

However, an alternative, though not recommended, is to migrate the device to GNU Radio. This allows you to customize the FPGA, but please note that this is done at your own risk as NI does not support GNU Radio.
