Hi everybody,

I have somehow a general question, and even after days of trying (and also 
googling), I did not found a solution for my problem. So maybe anyone here can 
help me out. Im on Ubuntu 20.04 and gnuradio 3.10, python 3.8.

I am working with an evaluation kit antenna, which is controlled via the python 
OOT block, that I wrote. In gnuradio, during the antenna initialization 
process, my python block tells me, that the connection to the eval-kit failed:


  Connecting ...
  MB1 device channel connection failed!
  Make sure the device cable is connected.
  Make sure you run the connection script with sudo.
  Make sure the MB1 has been programmed with the correct descriptor.
  Device initialization failed!

On the other hand, when I open sudo python in a terminal, give the same 
commands as in the python block, the initialization process ends sucessfully.
So my guess was, that it has something to do with the permissions of gnuradio 
(even tho I do not get an Errno13). Am I on the right track? And if so, how can 
I give gnuradio the needed permissions to connect with the eval-kit or let it 
run the scripts with higher permissions without using sudo gnuradio?

Since the question is pretty general, I did not provide anything of code. If 
certain parts of the code or something else is needed, I can give it.

Thank you very much, I hope someone here has an idea and is willing to help 😊

Best,
Niklas
