Hello Gentlemen, I installed VirtualBox extension pack and made the USB connection in VirtualBox to the HackerRF board. However, in the Ubuntu Terminal when I execute the command hackrf_info the info that comes up is: hackrf_info version: unknown libhackrf version: unknown (0.5) Found HackRF Index: 0 Board ID Number: 2 (HackRF One) Firmware Version: 2014.08.1 (API:1.00) Part ID Number: 0xa000cb3c 0x006e4756
The above shows Ubuntu is having trouble reading the top two version information and as a result when I try to run the Gnuradio flowgraph, it gives a message that it fails to open HackRF.
