devAvail=0 probably means you need to blacklist the kernel drivers....

edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

add..

blacklist sdr_msi3101
blacklist msi001
blacklist msi2500

Then save the file and reboot. Try the SoapySDRUtil again.

Best regards,

While CubicSDR and GQRX are able to recognize SDRPlay - run is impossible.
Any other tips?

Not sure what you mean by run is impossible. In CubicSDR, you select the device and parameters and press start. That doesn't work for you?

There is an issue with > 2.5MHz sample rate on Linux which I'll be pushing an update for this week but if you stick to defaults it should work ok.

Have you also tried... SoapySDRUtil --probe=sdrplay

On other PC under win10 all is in order. Before on ubuntu 16.04 ok too.

Are you using USB 3.0 port? Make sure it's a USB 2.0 port or an external mains powered USB 2.0 hub.

If you are using USB 2.0 and you've tried different USB cables you may need the updated driver I will be sending out.

Contact me on software@sdrplay.com if you want to beta test it.

Can you let me know what processor you have and what API download you did?

Best regards,

SDRplay Support

Thank you
Yes I am using USB 2.0 port, on the same port Lime reporting USB 2.0 and working on low bandwith, RTL-SDR v2 stick too

API -> SDRplay_RSP_API-Linux-2.10.1.run

Guess no need to test another USB cable because the same RSP1 setup is working on Win10 machine using CubicSDR or SDRConsole V3

Re: RSP1 on ubuntu 17.04

Cheers I need help, I have successfully built CubicSDR on a Orange Pi 2+ running armbian version of ubuntu 16.04, on armf platform. I have also recompiled the OS to enable SPI, i2C, and all USB devices (1,2,3). from Os lsusb shows SDRPlay device. So at OS level we at least see the device.

I also have RPi 3, I used the image that worked.

But I can't find source I can build on OPi2+ platform to rebuild the API SDRPlay driver.

Can anyone help me. OPI has 2GB ram, 16GB emmc(internal nand) and is much faster than RPi 3, so I am trying to get this working.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

We do not provide the source for the API. I would suggest trying the Raspberry Pi API or the ARM64 API if it's a 64bit ARM processor. You can find both of these on our downloads page (http://www.sdrplay.com/downloads)

Let us know how you get on with those versions. If you are still struggling let us know and we'll try to help.
