Tools in this directory do **not** link against UHD. They are +either stand-alone programs or software to be used in third-party applications. + +For UHD™ software tools, look in `uhd/host/utils`. + + +## List of Tools + +__chdr-dissector/__ + +This is a packet dissector for [Wireshark](http://www.wireshark.org/). It allows +you to view the details of a Compressed HeaDeR (CHDR) formatted-packet in +Wireshark. The USRP™ B2xx and X3xx use the CHDR format. + +__uhd_dump/__ + +This tool can be used with `tcpdump` to make sense of packet dumps from your +network-connected USRP™ device. + +__usrp_x3xx_fpga_jtag_programmer.sh__ + +This tool is to be used with the USRP™ X300 and X310 devices. It allows you to +program the X3x0 FPGA via JTAG. Note that loading the FPGA image via JTAG does +**not** store the FPGA in the on-device flash storage. Thus, as soon as you +cycle power, the image will be lost. To permanently burn an FPGA image, please +refer to `uhd/host/utils/usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner`. + +This tool requires that Xilinx iMPACT has been installed on your system. + |
