Using the Fobos SDR via usb into a Oracle VirtualBox #6

Closed waterwin closed 2 months ago

waterwin commented 2 months ago

Where my SDRplay RSP1B can be coupled into the VirtualBox Ubuntu machine, my Fobos SDR can not. What is wrong (?) or at least different with a complete USB implementation for the Fobos SDR. Can this be related to the use of USB 3.0 ? It is now not possible to use the GRC setup from a Windows machine.

I used KVM-based VM with Windows 11. Passthrough the entire USB bridge (requires VTd support on your host CPU side) and SDR# worked flawlessly.

I am not sure I understand the KVM setup, KVM is for Linux and can run a Windows VM. I want to go from Windows 10 to a Ubuntu Virtual Machine created in Oracle VirtualBox, Excuse my ignorance.

Oh, sorry, misunderstood you. Unfortunately cannot help, because my knowledge of Windows virtualization capabilities is very limited.

waterwin commented 2 months ago

I'll try the Linux subsystem for Windows approach instead. Thanks anyway

WRONG, my bad, I should have activated xHCI as USB controller in VirtualBox to access via USB 3.0 protocol. Example with OOT Source block now works ....

Solution : activate xHCI as USB controller in VirtualBox -- so not an issue, user error
