[Hackrf-dev] installation issue

[Chris Hinkey]

hello all,

The host computer that I am trying to install is an odroid quad core arm
sbc running full desktop lubuntu (lightweight ubuntu) 14.04 with 2GB ram.

First I tried installing hackrf from apt-get but this seems to install an
older version that is not compatible with the hackrf one. this causes a
hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND (-5)

I then tried installing from source from the git repo, git tag v2014.08.1
via the directions in the read me file in the host directory.

the install works fine with some perl warnings during compilation that I
think are unrelated:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_TIME = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_MONETARY = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_ADDRESS = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_TELEPHONE = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_NAME = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_MEASUREMENT = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_IDENTIFICATION = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_NUMERIC = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LC_PAPER = "es_US.UTF-8",
        LANG = "es_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

then I run sudo hackrf_info again I get hackrf_open() failed:
HACKRF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND (-5)


This step worked fine on my laptop, it seems to me that something is
missing on the sbc in terms of drivers?

dmesg | tail gives me on the sbc:
[177447.208987 at 0] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 12

on the laptop:
417245.660169] usb 3-3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
[417245.676669] usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1d50, idProduct=6089
[417245.676677] usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[417245.676682] usb 3-3: Product: HackRF One
[417245.676686] usb 3-3: Manufacturer: Great Scott Gadgets

any ideas would be great!

Thanks,
Chris
