+UHD - USRP-E1XX Series Application Notes
+========================================================================

+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Specify a non-standard image
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The UHD will automatically select the USRP embedded FPGA image from the installed images package.
+The FPGA image selection can be overridden with the "fpga" device address parameter.
+
+Example device address string representations to specify non-standard FPGA image:
+
+::
+
+ fpga=usrp_e100_custom.bin
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Changing the master clock rate
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The master clock rate of the USRP embedded feeds both the FPGA DSP and the codec chip.
+UHD can dynamically reconfigure the clock rate though the set_master_clock_rate() API call.
+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)
+
+For the correct clock settings, call usrp->set_master_clock_rate(61.44e6)
+before any other parameters are set in your application.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+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)
+
+For the correct clock settings, call usrp->set_master_clock_rate(rate)
+before any other parameters are set in your application.
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Clock rate recovery - unbricking
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+It is possible to set a clock rate such that the UHD can no longer communicate with the FPGA.
+When this occurs, it is necessary to use the usrp-e-utility to recover the clock generator.
+The recovery utility works by loading a special pass-through FPGA image so the computer
+can talk directly to the clock generator over a SPI interface.
+
+Run the following commands to restore the clock generator to a usable state:
+::
+
+ cd <prefix>/share/uhd/usrp_e_utilities
+ ./usrp-e-utility --fpga=../images/usrp_e100_pt_fpga.bin --reclk
