Hi everybody,
i tried to use the installation script from Donald. Everything seems to work,
so i don’t get any errors during the installation or so.
But when i try to run the hackrf_info command i get the following error:
Found HackRF board 0:
hackrf_open() failed HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000)
Okay, i know this error could be from the missing dev rules. But they are all
there.
The real crazy part is: When i’m trying the command a second time, i get a
correct output.
Firmware Version: 2014.08.1
Part ID XXX
Serial XXX
When i retry it: every next try works. But when i’m waiting 2 minutes, i get
the same libusb error from above.
Can anyone help me with that? (i tried the hacker on my MacBook and it works
fine so it should not be a Hardware Issue… )
Thank you!
