I might try a raspberry pi, but I’m kind of worried that it’ll use the same USB stack and have the same issue. Might be worth a shot though.
It shouldn’t. But if you want flexibility in which distro you install I’d go with the rPI-2.
Alright, thanks for the help! I think I’ll order one of those.
Stephen,
Somewhat off topic. But if you plan on blogging, or just sharing your experiences, and / or project notes on that hackRF. Id be interesting in reading . . .
My buddy here has been an EE for a long time, and a professional radio station engineer. But as far as I know hes not worked with SDRs in this context so much. Anyway, we both have interest in that device of yours . . .
Sure, I did start to write about using the HackRF at http://blog.stephenpape.net/
I’ve actually completed that whole project (I can generate a signal to control a ceiling fan), but I’ve only written the first blog post about decoding the signal so far. I’ll cover generating the packet and synthesizing the signal when I get around to writing more.

Just to sort of close the loop, the HackRF is working for me with Arch Linux on the Raspberry Pi 2. Same code and setup, not even using a hub.
It’s a shame that the BBB doesn’t work, but I’m happy to be moving forward.
Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
have you used this device? https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/
I’m experiencing this issue with some GSM modems. See my post at TI forum (http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/385033/1801121#1801121)

Hi Yegor,
I’m not sure what you’re asking. The post you’re replying to is literally me talking about trying to get the HackRF working, so yes I’ve used it.

Hi Stephen,
there a multiple HackRF compatible devices, so I just wanted to know, what particular device you were using.
