\section n3xx_getting_started Getting started

This will run you through the first steps relevant to get your USRP N300/N310
up and running.

\subsubsection n3xx_serial Serial connection

It is possible to gain root access to the device using a serial terminal
emulator. Most Linuxes, OSX, or other Unix flavours have a tool called 'screen'
which can be used for this purpose, by running the following command:

    $ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB2 115200

The exact device node depends on your operating system's driver and other USB
devices that might be already connected.

(TODO: Expand upon how to figure this out, include /dev/serial/by-id)

You should be presented with a shell similar to the following

    root@ni-sulfur-<serial>:~#


\subsubsection n3xx_ssh SSH connection

The USRP N-Series devices have two network connnections: The dual SFP ports,
and a RJ-45 connector. The latter is by default configured by DHCP; by plugging
it into into 1 Gigabit switch on a DHCP-capable network, it will get assigned
an IP address and thus be accessible via ssh.

In case your network setup does not include a DHCP server, refer to the section
\ref n3xx_serial. A serial login can be used to assign an IP address manually.

After the device obtained an IP address you can log in from a Linux or OSX
machine by typing:

    $ ssh root@192.168.10.42

where the IP address depends on your local network setup.

(TODO: Add the hostname thing here)

On Microsoft Windows, the connection can be established using a tool such as
Putty, by selecting a username of root without password.

You should be presented with a shell similar to the following (FIXME):

    root@ni-sulfur:~#

\subsection n3xx_theory_of_ops Theory of Operation

The N3xx-series are devices based on the MPM architecture (see
also: \ref page_mpm). Inside the Linux operating system running on the ARM
cores, there is hardware daemon which needs to be active in order for the
device to function as a USRP (it is enabled to run by default).

A large portion of hardware-specific setup is handled by the daemon.
