Not a typical use case.....and dont buy one just for hackrf as theres better options but I've gotten everything working on both the HP 14" x86_64 chromebook and the samsung ARM Gen 1 11" chromebook using crouton to run ubuntu in a chroot then using the build-gnuradio script. Pretty sure I had to modify the arm one to work around some packages that weren't present. However both do have some issues keeping up with a wideband fm demod without some stuttering. However for narrow band stuff they are fine. So if anyone wants to do that I can probably help.
I'd imagine anything with an embedded intel video chipset will work out of the box. It would be cool to get confirmation from the Gentoo folk. I know when I installed it on a box with a discrete Nvidia card I had to emerge the Nvidia driver before the display worked. This will probably be a pretty big hangup if your not comfortable in linux. Emerge isn't exactly intuitive. I'd say trying to stick with ubuntu or a derivitive will result in a lot less headache than using Gentoo or its derivitives for beginners. -Don On Nov 8, 2014 9:46 PM, "Angus Findlay" <[email protected]> wrote: > I've given up on Pentoo out of frustration.
