They are initialized, +configured, and queried using the utilities in this folder (mainly, eeprom-dump +and eeprom-id to read the EEPROM, eeprom-init to configure it, eeprom-blank to +erase it, and eeprom-set-flags to configure the MCU flags). + +The N3x0 series, which has additional EEPROMs on the daughterboard, has additional +tools for those (db-dump, db-id, db-init). + +The structure of the data is fixed. A good overview of how data is stored can +be looked up either in `usrp_mpm/eeprom.py` or the structs in `eeprom.h` in this +directory. + +## X410 + +The USRP X410 uses a different EEPROM data format (tag/length/value, TLV). It is +more flexible than the format used on the previous devices. The tools to operate +on the EEPROMs for those devices are stored under `tlv_eeprom`. + +## E31x + +The USRP E31x series is not supported by these tools. |
