Using the MicroPhase AntSDR e200 on Ubuntu 23.10

[nowires]

Maybe try sdrpp?
I installed some soapysdr drivers, which seems to make ettis devices show up in the list on gqrx.

So the instructions are only for updating either firmware, but it comes with both pre-installed. So which would be your pick the antsdr e200 or the bladerf 2.0 micro? Once you get the uhd working, probably the antsdr.

If you want to run on Windows, then you will want the BladeRF. They suggest running antsdr e200 using WSL on windows, but it sounds like they have never tried it. It has the linux file system mounted, but it is not compatible with Windows system and they warn you not to use Windows programs on the linux file system.

Might be good information to know if I'm forced to have to use Windows for some reason, but I'll be using Linux.

You mean like this for the plutosdr?

Windows Drivers [Analog Devices Wiki]

It is using a linux filesystem driver on top of a usb mass storage drive driver and serial and some others.

WSL is the emulator for Linux on top of Windows.

Seems strange that an IP/USB unit like the antsdr couldn't work on windows. Does it not have support with a driver under sdr sharp or something similar? Oops...there is what I was looking for...is your uhd mode using RNDIS? Set the USB IP address with RNDIS for uhd mode, and just regular ethernet for pluto mode?

Would your antsdr work with the adalm pluto sdr drivers and the bladerf drivers? Probably not.

The thing with bladerf was pybombs.

I spent some hours getting ubuntu 22.04 going on WSL. WSL is not so hot - A RTL-SDR works only at one sample rate and it gets about 95 percent of the signal. A SDRPLAY RSP2 at its best sample rate gets about 3 percent of the signal. A airspyHF+ is not found even though the drivers are there. A BladeRF will not even load its FPGA. I will try the ANTSDR next - I do not expect it to work, but it may surprise me.

Maybe have better luck with VirtualBox/VirtualPC? Just insert the Ubuntu/DragonOS ISO in the "CDROM" and let it boot from that.

Wsl cartoon.

Surprise - Surprise - The ANTSDR works fine on the WSL ubuntu - it just has the standard problem with too many sample rates.

This one guy says 192.168.2.1 for rndis usb operation.
192.168.1.10 for pluto operation.

The PlutoSDR has a USB mode, but as far as I can tell the ANTSDR only uses the USB for power and all communications it done with tcp/ip or udp.

Maybe you could install usbip on the SD card. The SD card was supposed to have some USB host mode on it, so you could use higher speed usb. And the computer has to have the USB drivers as well.
