[Hackrf-dev] Approaching USB overflows

[Raziel Einhorn]

Hi everyone,

I’m writing some scripts to help me receive and transmit signals, decode them and print the result in real-time. Right now i’m focused on the RX script.
However, when I use HackRF I encounter USB overflows. This happens no matter how low I go with the sample rate, and it does not happen when i’m using RTL-SDR.
I assume that in order to fully debug my code I would have to share it. However, i’m more interested to hear from your experience what is your approach to debug this issue so I would be able to face it in the future: tools, pointers to places in the os I can hook into for debug, previous experience with root causes etc. I haven’t found any resources that discuss this issue so any links are also welcome.

To give a little more details- i’m writing my scripts in Python, using SoapySDR to interface my SDRs and working on a MacbookAir 8GB \ 512GB SSD. 

Thanks!

Raziel
