IDP.Generic Threat #21

Closed PE2016 closed 1 year ago

PE2016 commented 2 years ago

When trying to install radioconda 3.10.2.0 on Windows 10, the AVG antivirus alerted me for an IDP.Generic threat. Is this a real threat? Even when I accpted, AVG didn't allow the installation of gdbus.exe Please advise, thanks

You'll have to trust me and the conda-forge community, but we're not putting a virus in there (at least intentionally - it would be a big security breach if a nefarious actor snuck something in!).

gdbus.exe is part of the glib-tools package which is built from the glib feedstock. I don't know why AVG antivirus thinks it's a threat, but it is a normal part of glib which is depended on by the Gtk GUI toolkit among other things. If you can override AVG, then I would suggest that.

Hello Ryan I added an exception to suppress the virus alerts and it installed. Now, where do I find support and updated steps to communicate with the USRP 210N? Attached is what I got when running conda info; am I missing something? Thank you, Ramez

Github scrubbed your attachment, so I can't see what your conda info shows, but it probably doesn't matter. Now that you have a complete installation, you will have the uhd package installed. There are no special steps needed for using a USRP N210 with radioconda on Windows, so you should follow the setup specified by NI/Ettus and do any troubleshooting that they recommend. Running uhd_find_devices is a great way to test whether your device is accessible. If you don't see it, you probably need to set up your IP address or the device's IP address and check your connections.

Ryan Thank you for your prompt response. Find devices worked, where can I find a list of commands? Best Ramez

What kind of commands? Arguments for uhd_find_devices? Other UHD-related commands?

PE2016 commented 2 years ago

Other UHF’s related commands Thanks Sent from my iPhone

All of the following programs can be executed as commands:

uhd_cal_rx_iq_balance
uhd_cal_tx_dc_offset
uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance
uhd_config_info
uhd_find_devices
uhd_image_loader
uhd_images_downloader
uhd_usrp_probe
usrp2_card_burner

Besides uhd_find_devices, I find uhd_image_loader, uhd_images_downloader, and uhd_usrp_probe to be the most commonly useful.

Ryan

When I ran , I got (among other things) the following: conda version : 4.12.0

Is the highlighted line OK? Or am I missing something!

Also when I updated the fw and fpga and recycled the power. Now < uhd_usrp_probe > worked. But I couldn't run gnu radio companion , fft or anything!

Thanks again for your help,

Ramez
