Re: [USRP-users] Very Close - Trying to Connect B210 Using VMware

[Matheou, Konstantin J. (GRC-LCI0)[ZIN TECHNOLOGIES INC] via USRP-users]

Thanks for the suggestions, but still does not work...

I have been using only USB 3.0.  I did try USB 2.0 too.. same issue.

Basically, this is what I have been seeing.. There ais a Cypress driver within 
the B210 that gets picked up first.  Then when I type the uhd_find_devixes the 
firmware gets loaded, but then again gets knocked off the USB port and shows no 
devices connected.

I also seen that the VID and PID for the B210 needs to be 2500 and 0021 (not 
0200)... Thried that too...

Still luck... Any suggested still welcome.

Thanks

Maybe do the uhd_usurp_probe command first? I find when I do this (but this is 
using USB 2.0 ) it says it finds device empty the first time, but then I call 
it again and the second time it works and loads the firmware. Then a box will 
pop up telling me "this device can run faster over 3.0".
Well I know that !! But likewise there's still something not set right in the 
communication between VMware player and linux VM for that to happen.
Is there an equivalent setting command for the B200?

Leo, Thanks for the try...

I understand your point, but I go to the dropdown menu and choose the Ettus 210 
again, and I hear the USB beep "meanin its connected", but when I do the 
uhd_find_devices command again (after firmware was installed), I still get the 
No connection...

Now, I did take another route...  I used the uhd_usrp_probe command to try to 
connect to the B210/200  and it loaded the firmware image file called 
usrp_b200_fw.hex file, but then I received and error called lookupError and 
KeyError
No Devicess Found --> Empty Device Address.

I went back to check the previous advice I received from Nate and the VendorID 
= 2500 and ProductID = 0020.

I know it has something to do with the communication setup with Vitrtualbox...  
 Or maybe it is a config setup in the usrp_b200_fw.hex file...

I will be sniffing up these 2 routes

Again, any advice is appreciated

Hi Matheou,

When using Virtualbox and a X310 connected through USB, every time the Ettus 
rebooted after an image updating I had to go the Virtualbox menu and select the 
device again from the list of connected USB devices to make the virtual machine 
recognize it. Perhaps you're skipping this step?

Hi Konstanitn,

I assume you mean you are using VirtualBox, not VMWare.

You will need to add a USB Filtering rule for the USRP within the settings for 
the virtual machine (within VirtualBox settings).

You will need to add a rule for VID: 2500 PID: 0020 for the B210.

Also, you need replace the value "" with the path to which UHD is 
installed, commonly this is /usr/local/. uhd_images_downloader will be located 
/usr/local/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_image_downloader.py

Re: [USRP-users] Very Close - Trying to Connect B210 Using VMware

[Jacqueline.Walker via USRP-users]

Hi, 

I have a similar problem with a B200 on a Linux VM (archlinux) but I am using 
VMware (Workstation Player 12). I do have USB 3.0 enabled and the VM can see a 
USB 3.0 hard drive but it can't see the B200. Is there a similar solution for  
VMware ?

thanks
Jacqueline

Hi Konstanitn,

I assume you mean you are using VirtualBox, not VMWare.

You will need to add a USB Filtering rule for the USRP within the settings for 
the virtual machine (within VirtualBox settings).

You will need to add a rule for VID: 2500 PID: 0020 for the B210.

Also, you need replace the value "" with the path to which UHD is 
installed, commonly this is /usr/local/. uhd_images_downloader will be located 
/usr/local/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_image_downloader.py

Nate Temple
