+Post installation task (N-Series only)
+********************************************
This is necessary if you require absolute GPS time in your application,
or need to communicate with the GPSDO to obtain location, satellite info, etc.
If you only require 10MHz and PPS signals for reference or MIMO use,
-(see the Synchronization application note), it is not necessary to perform
-this step.
+(see the `Synchronization Application Notes <./sync.html>`_),
+it is not necessary to perform this step.
To configure the USRP to communicate with the GPSDO, use the
usrp_burn_mb_eeprom utility:
::
- $ cd <install-path>/share/uhd/utils
- $ ./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --key=gpsdo --val=internal
+ cd <install-path>/share/uhd/utils
+ ./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args=<optional device args> --key=gpsdo --val=internal
-This will configure the driver to communicate with the GPSDO on startup.
+ -- restore original setting --
+ ./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args=<optional device args> --key=gpsdo --val=none
