+
+For users who do not wish to install Python, a new script is available in UHD 003.005.000:
+the USRP N2XX Simple Net Burner. It provides the same functionality as its Python
+counterpart, but by default, it automatically installs the default images without the user needing
+to specify their location on the command line.

+The utility can be found at: **<install-path>/share/uhd/utils/usrp_n2xx_simple_net_burner**
