Hi Daniel, It is generally recommended not to run within a VM, and it is better to operate on the bare metal host for SDR applications. You should expect lower performance and throughput when operating within a VM vs a bare metal host. However it is possible.
>How much memory (RAM) should we allocate to the VM? As much as possible. Ubuntu's recommended minimum is 2GB. 4GB would be a good starting target. >How big should the virtual disk size be? Depends upon your application requirements. Ubuntu's recommended minimum is 25GB. >How do we configure the network to connect the USRP to the VM? The B210 is not a network based USRP. It does however require VID/PID USB rules to enable the B210 to be passed through to the VM (For VirtualBox).
