Please don't send binary images - just copy the output text into your
email.

You don't have the correct version of libhackrf and utilities to match
the installed firmware on the HackRF.

The installed firmware is 2017.2.1.

The libhackrf version is: "unknown".

The hackrf_info version is: "unknown".

You need to install the 2017.2.1 version of the libhackrf and utilities from

   https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/releases

When both the version of hackrf_info and libhackrf match the firmware
version of 2017.02.1 then it will work.
