It was vice-versa in my case.When I tried using virtual box it was not working but when I used SDR with Linux it was working properly.

| I've wanted to run my desktop as a Linux host with XP (and other guest OSes) for some time with my F5KA but soon found out that without any Linux firewire drivers, Linux does not recognize the interface nor can it pass on control to the VM running PowerSDR. I did see that as of 2 Oct, the Linux Kernel 3.1 was released with updated IEEE 1394 drivers. Has anyone had the chance to review these yet and see if they work with the F5KA? If I had the time now I would but it would have to wait until next week or the week after. Push come to shove, I will try these out as soon as I get my home system backed up (I run it as a VM when I have Linux on my home tower).

| I did some more "research" on this and according to the Ubuntu website, there are firewire drivers available for Linux. So, I'm gonna give it another try. Last night I made a backup of my system (takes a long time with older drives and 71Gb) and tonight I can download and install Ubuntu 11.4 (or is it 11.04??). Knowing how Ubuntu is (isn't much different with Windoze) the updates will probably run/install all night so I can get it started and shut down the computer in the morning. It won't be 'till next week before I can get it setup to run VMPlayer 4.0 (new version) and an XP VM setup to run PSDR .... I'll add and note when it's finished to let everyone know how it came out .....

I've seen references in this and other threads to running PowerSDR in Linux. Can someone point me to info on how to do that- i.e. source code repository and build instructions? I'm thinking of buying a Flex 3000, and hoping I can run it native in Ubuntu. I'm also trying to get VirtualBox going, but so far I'm unable to get it to work with a raw partition pointing to my existing Windows installation. I'll try it in VB if I ever get the raw partition working, but in the meantime, I'd like to try to run it native in Ubuntu.

Running it in Virtualbox takes quite a lot of computing power. I did an experiment with Windows 7 in a very stripped down virtual machine, and it struggled on a dual core 2 GHz system with 4G memory. Perhaps QEMU would be lighter than a full-on virtual Windows?
Eventually it will make more sense to develop a native version of PowerSDR than not... All of the "bang for buck" in the business is feeding Windows. When GNU Radio starts to surpass PSDR on FlexRadio hardware, we'll see them put out a Linux version!
