OS X 10.5.8 is the last release to support PPC (current is 10.11.3) and the default compilers in that release do not meet UHD's minimum requirements. Also various dependency versions are not met.

USRP Hardware Driver (UHD™) Software
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the UHD™ software distribution! UHD is the free & open-source
|
|
software driver and API for the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP™) SDR
|
|
platform, created and sold by Ettus Research.
|
|
|
|
UHD supports all Ettus Research USRP™ hardware, including all motherboards and
|
|
daughterboards, and the combinations thereof.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
For technical documentation related to USRP™ hardware or UHD system
|
|
design, check out the [UHD and USRP Manual](http://files.ettus.com/manual/).
|
|
That is where you can find
|
|
[Installation Instructions](http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_install.html),
|
|
help on how to
|
|
[build UHD from source](http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_build_guide.html) on
|
|
different platforms, development guidelines and reference documentation as well
|
|
as device usage guidance.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, be sure to check out the Ettus Research
|
|
[FAQ](http://www.ettus.com/kb/detail/frequently-asked-questions), and the
|
|
[Knowledge Base](http://www.ettus.com/kb) for useful application notes and
|
|
tutorials.
|
|
|
|
## OS Support
|
|
|
|
UHD is primarily developed on Linux, but we also test and support the following
|
|
operating systems.
|
|
|
|
* Linux (Fedora and Ubuntu)
|
|
* Mac OS X (Intel)
|
|
* Windows 7
|
|
|
|
Other operating systems will most likely work, too, but are not officially
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
## Applications
|
|
|
|
UHD can be used to build stand-alone applications with USRP™ hardware, or with
|
|
third-party applications. Some common toolkits / frameworks are:
|
|
|
|
* [GNU Radio](http://gnuradio.org/)
|
|
* [LabVIEW](http://www.ni.com/download/ni-usrp-1.3/4711/en/)
|
|
* [Simulink](http://www.mathworks.com/discovery/sdr/usrp.html)
|
|
* [OpenBTS](http://wush.net/trac/rangepublic/wiki/BuildInstallRun)
|
|
* [Iris](http://www.softwareradiosystems.com/redmine/projects/iris/wiki)
|
|
* [Redhawk](https://github.com/redhawksdr)
|
|
* [Amarisoft LTE eNodeB](http://www.amarisoft.com/?p=amarilte)

## Directories
|
|
|
|
__host/__
|
|
|
|
The source code for the user-space driver.
|
|
|
|
__firmware/__
|
|
|
|
The source code for all microprocessors in USRP hardware.
|
|
|
|
__fpga-src/__
|
|
|
|
The source code for the UHD FPGA images. Note this is a git submodule,
|
|
if you are cloning the repository and want to modify the FPGA code,
|
|
you will need to run 'git clone --recursive' to automatically
|
|
populate this directory. Alternatively, you can run 'git submodule init'
|
|
followed by 'git submodule update' to populate it after cloning the
|
|
repository without '--recursive'.
|
|
|
|
Note that this subdirectory is very large, and not necessary for
|
|
building applications that link against UHD.
|
|
|
|
__images/__
|
|
|
|
This contains the package builder for FPGA and firmware images.
|
|
We provide other tools to downloade image packages, the scripts in here
|
|
are mainly relevant for UHD maintainers and -developers.
|
|
|
|
__tools/__
|
|
|
|
Additional tools, mainly for debugging purposes. See the readme-file
|
|
in that directory for more details on the individual tools.
