I apologize, I haven't been able to find the right place to direct this issue.

Says you can get a version of uhd-host that supports the b206, by using the Ettus ppa and installing uhd-host - from https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/releases it looks like you need at least 4.9 (versus 4.1 which Ubuntu jammy et al provide).

However, it appears that ppa doesn't actually publish uhd-host:

We can just build 4.9 from source and scrape the fpga bin files directly, but that's less than ideal. Would you let me know please what I did wrong there (or how to obtain an Ettus published uhd-host 4.9.x)?
