I have followed Nate's advice, at least I think, and things are still not working...
Again, the firmware is loading (thus assuming USB connection is recognizing unit and transmitting info), but once the software process of loading the firmaware is done, I hear the unhooking Windows sound of a USB device and then I get the no Devices Loaded message in the screen. I hope to figure this out this weekend. If not, I will try to get a laptop that has Linux loaded already on the laptop/PC.

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 ________________________________________ From: USRP-users [usrp-users-boun...@lists.ettus.com] on behalf of Nate Temple via USRP-users [usrp-users@lists.ettus.com] Sent: 14 July 2017 18:33:28 To: Matheou, Konstantin J.

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 "<install-path>" 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 Regards, Nate Temple > On Jul 14, 2017, at 9:28 AM, Matheou, Konstantin J.
