[Hackrf-dev] FATAL: No supported devices found to pick from.

[Gavin Jacobs]

I tried to run my hackrf in a VM and it almost worked.

For the Osmocom source block, I had to specify the hackrf by serial # on the device options. I got it to recognize the hackrf and it would appear to function for a while, but the virtual usb driver would randomly fail without any error messages, and then the hackrf would freeze up. Eventually I went with a dual boot scenario.

Since you are running in a VM anyway, consider downloading the Pentoo image as referenced by the GreatScottGadgets site. That is very plug and play with the HackRF-1. A long shot would be to look for is whether or not you are a member of group 'plugdev' since your ls of the dev tree showed that the hackrf is owned by root and only gives  access to root or members of group plugdev. I don't think hackrf_info would work though if you weren't.

Hi,

I am having some problems trying to use GNUradio together with a HackRF-One. The hardware seems to be fine as the LED lights turned ON and it works with SDR# on Windows.

After running command "hackrf_info" on a Linux distro it returns this:

Found HackRF board 0:
Board ID Number: 2 (HackRF One)
Firmware Version: 2014.08.1
Part ID Number: 0xa000cb3c 0x00554743
Serial Number: 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x466c64c8 0x278a43c7

I can see the device when running the "lsusb" command:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1d50:6089 OpenMoko, Inc.

And that's the output to "ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002/006" (I don't know if it will be useful for you)
crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 189, 133 ene 11 16:38 /dev/bus/usb/002/006

Until here everything seems to work as expected. The problem comes when I execute a flowgraph with an osmocom source on it, then the program displays the following message:

gr-osmosdr v0.1.4-75-gae686c46 (0.1.5git) gnuradio 3.7.10
built-in source types: file fcd rtl_tcp rfspace redpitaya

FATAL: No supported devices found to pick from.

Trying to fill up 1 missing channel(s) with null source(s).
This is being done to prevent the application from crashing
due to gnuradio bug #528.

I am running a Kali Linux as a virtual machine (with VMware), which is supposed to include multiple sdr tools. I think that the problem has to do with some libraries or tools for HackRF, but when I try to install or upgrade libhackrf or hackrf-tools the followin message appears in the terminal:

root at kali247:~# apt-get install hackrf-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package hackrf-tools

The same message appears for libhackrf. Any idea of what could be wrong? I am a bit lost right now, any help is welcome. I don't know if I am missing something, if you need further information just ask.

Thank you for your time,

Marc.
