+UHD - USRP-B1XX Series Application Notes
+========================================================================
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Specify a non-standard image
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The UHD will automatically select the USRP B-Series images from the installed images package.
+The image selection can be overridden with the "fpga" and "fw" device address parameters.
+
+Example device address string representations to specify non-standard images:
+
+::
+
+    fpga=usrp_b100_fpga_firmware.bin
+
+    -- OR --
+
+    fw=usrp_b100_fw_firmware.ihx
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Changing the master clock rate
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The master clock rate of the USRP embedded feeds both the FPGA DSP and the codec chip.
+Hundreds of rates between 32MHz and 64MHz are available.
+A few notable rates are:
+
+* 64MHz - maximum rate of the codec chip
+* 61.44MHz - good for UMTS/WCDMA applications
+* 52Mhz - good for GSM applications
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Set 61.44MHz - uses external VCXO
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To use the 61.44MHz clock rate, the USRP embedded will require two jumpers to be moved.
+
+* J16 is a two pin header, remove the jumper (or leave it on pin1 only)
+* J15 is a three pin header, move the jumper to (pin1, pin2)
+
+**Note:** See instructions below to communicate the desired clock rate into the UHD.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Set other rates - uses internal VCO
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To use other clock rates, the jumpers will need to be in the default position.
+
+* J16 is a two pin header, move the jumper to (pin1, pin2)
+* J15 is a three pin header, move the jumper to (pin2, pin3)
+
+To communicate the desired clock rate into the UHD,
+specify the a special device address argument,
+where the key is "master_clock_rate" and the value is a rate in Hz.
+Example:
+::
+
+    uhd_usrp_probe --args="master_clock_rate=52e6"
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+OS specific notes
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Linux - setup udev
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+On Linux, udev handles USB plug and unplug events.
+The following commands create a udev rule for the B100
+so that non-root users may access the device:
+
+::
+
+    echo 'ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="2500", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0001", MODE:="0666"' > tmpfile
+    sudo chown root.root tmpfile
+    sudo mv tmpfile /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usrp_b100.rules
+    sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
