UHD is the official open-source driver and API for Ettus Research USRP software-defined radio hardware. It includes user-space driver code, embedded device software, firmware, and FPGA image sources, and integrates with toolkits like GNU Radio.
Use cases
- control a USRP software-defined radio from my application
- stream RF samples to and from SDR hardware
- build a GNU Radio flowgraph with USRP hardware
- develop custom FPGA images for USRP devices
- flash firmware onto USRP embedded devices
- implement a GSM or LTE base station with SDR hardware
- debug and monitor USRP device performance
When to choose
- you own or target Ettus Research USRP SDR hardware
- you need a supported C/C++ or Python API for RF streaming
- you want to integrate USRP devices with GNU Radio, srsRAN, or OpenAirInterface
- you need to customize or rebuild FPGA images or firmware for USRP devices
When to avoid
- you use SDR hardware from another vendor such as HackRF, RTL-SDR, or LimeSDR
- you need a high-level signal processing framework rather than a hardware driver
- you want a pure software radio simulator with no hardware dependency
