+Addressing the device
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+A USRP1 can be identified though its serial number,
+designated by the "serial" key in the device address.
+
+The device address string representation for a USRP1 with serial 1234
+
+::
+
+ serial=1234
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Change the USRP1's serial number
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Specifying the subdevice to use
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The USRP1 has multiple daughterboard slots, known as slot A and slot B.
+The subdevice specification can be used to select
+the daughterboard and subdevice for each channel.
+For daughterboards with one one subdevice,
+the subdevice name may be left blank for automatic selection.
+
+Ex: The subdev spec markup string to select a WBX on slot B.
+Notice the use of the blank subdevice name for automatic selection.
+
+::
+
+ B:
+
+ -- OR --
+
+ B:0
+
+Ex: The subdev spec markup string to select a BasicRX on slot B.
+Notice that the subdevice name is always specified in the 3 possible cases.
+
+::
+
+ B:AB
+
+ -- OR --
+
+ B:A
+
+ -- OR --
+
+ B:B

+Setup Udev on Linux
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+On Linux, Udev handles USB plug and unplug events.
+The following command creates a Udev rule for the USRP1
+so that non-root users may access the device:
+
+::
+
+ echo 'ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="fffe", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", MODE:="0666"' > tmpfile
+ sudo chown root.root tmpfile
+ sudo mv tmpfile /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usrp.rules
+ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
