 == USRP Universal Hardware Driver ==
 
-TBD.
+Prior to installing ensure the host platform is running Ubuntu 12.04 and a USRP connected on eth2 interface.
+
+UHD binary installation instructions referenced from [http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/UHD_Linux]. 
+
+Install the UHD binary from the repository:
+{{{
+bash -c 'echo "deb http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/repo/uhd/ubuntu/`lsb_release -cs` `lsb_release -cs` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ettus.list'
+apt-get update
+apt-get install -t `lsb_release -cs` uhd
+}}}
+
+
+Configure eth2 network interface.
+ 1) For USRP X310 the device is on the 192.168.40.x subnet.
+  a)  Load driver for 10G Ethernet interface:
+{{{
+modprobe mlx4_en
+}}}
+  b) Configure eth2 interface
+{{{
+ifconfig eth2 192.168.40.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 9000 up
+}}}
+
+ 2) For USRP N210 the device is on the 192.168.10.x subnet.
+  a) Use the stock driver for 1G Ethernet interface which is already loaded.
+
+  b) Configure eth2 interface and resize socket buffers
+{{{
+ifconfig eth2 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=50000000
+sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=1048576
+}}}
+
+
+Test UHD installation using the USRP Hardware Driver Discovery Utility
+{{{
+uhd_find_devices
+}}}
+
+Output should look similar to the following
+{{{
+linux; GNU C++ version 4.6.3; Boost_104601; UHD_003.007.002-release
+

+    type: usrp2
+    addr: 192.168.10.2

+
+USRP peripheral details can be obtained using the USRP Hardware Driver Peripheral Report Utility
+{{{
+uhd_usrp_probe
+}}}
+
+Output should look similar to the following
+{{{
