Further testing is required. +We have confirmed that operation on Virtual Machines is possible, and confirmed that the software works well on Ubuntu 22.04 running on VirtualBox, on both Windows and Linux host machines. + +The key to the VM working is to use the USB3.0 interface which requires the install of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Although the KrakenSDR is a USB2.0 device, it appears that the USB2.0 virtual machine passthrough implementation is slow, and it ends up constantly dropping samples. The USB3.0 code however is much faster and no samples are dropped. # Power Supplies Your chosen computing platform and the KrakenSDR will each require a separate power supply connection. |
