Hi Cinaed, 

Thank you very much! I will check to see if I can do a more up to date hackrf version download. George

It sounds like you didn't

  apt install libhackrf-dev

If you did install the libraries, then you may have to update the firmware.

Post the entire results from
  
   apt list --installed | grep hackrf

so we can see the versions. There should be 2 entries.

Note the date of the firmware - 2014 - was  first year the hackrf was released via Kickstart.

Hello GNURadio Community, 

I built a grc flowgraph in Gnuradio 3.9.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 inside Microsoft VirtualBox. I have a HackRF One radio hardware. I installed the hackrf drivers in Ubuntu with command: sudo apt-get install -y hackrf

and confirmed the installation. I connected the HackRF One board to my computer and in the Terminal prompt entered the command hackrf_info and received the response that it does not see the Hackrf board.

And true to form when I ran the flowgraph, I get the following error message:

RuntimeError: no hackrf device matches

Why is Ubuntu 20.04 running inside MS VirtualBox not seeing the HackRf board with the HackRf drivers installed. And, how do I resolve this issue?

Will appreciate any help to resolve this issue.

George
