GNU Radio on VMWare Workstation

[Magic]

Hi to all.

I'm trying to using GNURADIO with a Cinergy Terratec RC running linux under VMWare virtual machine, till now with no success.

All the software has been build correctly, but when i try to execute some simple grc blocks i have no signal. The application starts but i have no output (blank waterfall, etc...).

rtl_test and gnuradio reports and recognize the rtl dongle correctly:

gnuradio:

----------

Using Volk machine: sse4_1_64

gr-osmosdr supported device types: file fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd 

Using device #0: Terratec Cinergy T Stick RC (Rev.3)

Found Elonics E4000 tuner

rtl_test:

test@test-virtual-machine ~/gnuradio $ rtl_test

Found 1 device(s):

  0:  Terratec Cinergy T Stick RC (Rev.3)

Using device 0: Terratec Cinergy T Stick RC (Rev.3)

Supported gain values (14): -1.0 1.5 4.0 6.5 9.0 11.5 14.0 16.5 19.0 21.5 24.0 29.0 34.0 42.0 

Reading samples in async mode...

^CSignal caught, exiting!

User cancel, exiting...

Until now i have tried using Linux Mint and Linux Debian, 32 and 64 bit, always running on VMWare Workstation 8.

Any suggestion on different linux distro or anything else?

Thanks for help!!

Have you tried using a Windows program like HDSDR or SDR# to confirm the
device is working correctly?

Cheers,
Adam.

I failed to get a similar system running too, I suspect the USB emulation
of VMWare is not capable of passing data quick enough.

There was some talk of using a TCP/IP server on the Windows side... which
might work for you.

Yes,

SDR# works perfectly.

Hi,

i think you are right.

Next step will be to install linux directly on hardware or (preferred for me) running tcp server on windows side and linux on vmware side.

I'll keep you informed on next test results :)

Note that rtl_test can inform you if that hypothesis is accurate.
