    66=== Installation / Starting of PCIe driver ===
    77From the COSMOS console, load an image that has a compatible UHD & kernel driver already installed. The image baseline-uhd.ndz or similar can be used.

    1313Now ssh into the Krypton host and verify it is able to detect the radio on the PCIe bus. Use ''lspci'' to list all the devices that are detected.

    1818In the output of lspci, search for ''Signal processing controller: National Instruments PXIe/PCIe Device''. This means the host computer's PCIe controller sees the Krypton radio. Now download and install the PCIe driver so the UHD applications access the radio. Complete details on this driver is [https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_ni_rio_kernel.html here].

    8484While trying to build the NI driver following the instructions above, you may encounter an error regarding the ''do_munmap'' function not having enough input arguments. To fix, issue the following command to open the problematic C code file in nano:

    105105Note that the third and final call to ''do_munmap'' is missing the fourth parameter. Add NULL as the fourth parameter so that the line reads as the following:
