I just started working with GNURadio without much of familiarity about this software. I found a couple examples online and I tried to run them but I get many Missing Block errors.

Thats how it looks like:

Any idea how to solve this problem please?

Update:

I uninstalled then re-installed GNURadio (3.7.13.4):

And UHD (UHD_3.14.0.0-release) USRP drives again on my system again (Linux Mint 19 Cinamon).

I did the whole "Building and installing GNU Radio from source code" process based on the following page (check at the bottom):

https://kb.ettus.com/Building_and_Installing_the_USRP_Open-Source_Toolchain_(UHD_and_GNU_Radio)_on_Linux

But I still get the same missing box error.

Another example gives me some different error with non working FFT graph:

enter image description here

FATAL: RuntimeError: Expected FPGA compatibility number 5, but got 7:
The FPGA build is not compatible with the host code build.
Please run:

 "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py"

Trying to fill up 1 missing channel(s) with null source(s).
This is being done to prevent the application from crashing
due to gnuradio bug #528.

And when I try to run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py I get an error saying No Such Directory.

  • $\begingroup$ how did you install GNU Radio? Which version do you have? From which version did the flow graph you're trying to open come? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ anyway, this isn't really a signal processing, but a mere GNU Radio usage question, so I'm not very sure it's on-topic here – maybe try the discuss-gnuradio mailing list; they are very helpful $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Marcus, I installed from the gnuradio.org. It is 3.7.11. The Flow Graph used is a fm_rx.grc and I found it in Github. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Your flowgraph is trying to instantiate blocks that don't exist in the version you have installed. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is a problem with usge of a specific software package, and is unrelated to signal processing. $\endgroup$
