[Discuss-gnuradio] Is WUBI (Lucid) a viable environment for GNU-Radio (3.2.2) ?

[John Shields]

I recently purchased a USRP and have a fresh install of WUBI (HP Pavillion DV5 , Windows Home Vista) and used gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/UbuntuInstall to install things.

 

I passed 'make check' correctly

 

I have my username in the group usrp

 

address@hidden:~/gnuradio$ ls -lR /dev/bus/usb | grep usrp
crw-rw---- 1 root usrp 189, 132 2010-09-21 11:14 005

 

when I execute ./usrp_benchmark_usb.py I get:

 

 

Testing 2MB/sec... gr_vmcircbuf_createfilemapping: createfilemapping is not available
/home/john/.gnuradio/prefs/gr_vmcircbuf_default_factory: Permission denied
uUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuUuOuU^Z

 

 

and it hangs so I kill it

 

[1]+  Stopped                 ./usrp_benchmark_usb.py

 

I cannot repeat this operation as I get

 

Testing 2MB/sec... usrp_open_interface:usb_set_alt_interface: failed
could not set alt intf 0/0: Connection timed out
open_nth_cmd_interface: open_cmd_interface failed
usrp: failed to load firmware /usr/share/usrp/rev4/std.ihx.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./usrp_benchmark_usb.py", line 106, in <module>
    main ()

 

          snip.........

 

 

unless I move the USRP to a new USB port in which case I get the first symptom again

 

I have seen similar posts elsewhere re: issues with USB ports, Python  and VirtualBox

 

so my question is has anyone been able to run GNURADIO on WUBI?

 

Kind Regards,

 

 

        Slainte,
