Windows 10 + HackRF One crash

[diggit]

Hi, I am trying to use SDR++ on W10 machine with HackRF One. SW info: OS: Windows 10 Enterprise, 21H2 SDR++: 1.0.4 official release

When I click on play button, Sdr++ crashes. Same thing happens, when I click on "refresh button" bandwidth config. HackRF One is recognized in device manager and is using WinUSB driver.

Sdr++ terminal output:

After removal of soapysdr module, Sdr++ does not crash anymore.

[shuyuan-liu]

Glad to see you've got it working.

I'd like to say 1.0.4 is 7 months old and a lot of development has happened since then. Please try the nightly build from https://www.sdrpp.org/nightly/ (this redirects you back to GitHub).

[gvanem]

After removal of soapysdr module, Sdr++ does not crash anymore.

I've seen this too where it crashes in libusb. Probably an issue with 2 modules competing for the same USB-device. (where Hack-RF fails to grab it). Add a set LIBUSB_DEBUG=3 (or higher) to your environment and watch the libusb events.

[diggit]

Good to know, there are nightlies available. 79a15ed nightly behaved in same way.

libusb collision could be it, unfortunately, I was not able make libusb print out more info. my intput to powershell

$env:LIBUSB_DEBUG = 3
.\sdrpp.exe -s

but there was not extra output in terminal. As Windows are not my primary platform, I might need some guidance.

[gvanem]

$env:LIBUSB_DEBUG = 3

Not sure that's legal PWSH-syntax. Try running in cmd instead; set LIBUSB_DEBUG=3 & sdrpp.exe --con. Not option -s.

[shuyuan-liu]

To clarify the change from -s to -c / --con, please see this comment and the one below it: https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/issues/732#issuecomment-1102941099. On 1.0.4, -s means "show console (on Windows)"; now it means "run in server mode".

[diggit]

Here is output, when I set LIBUSB_DEBUG to 4, because 3 did not add much. sdrpp_nightly_libusb_dbg4.txt

possibly related to a HackRF firmware bug https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/hackrf/issues/1068 which i now have after upgrading the firmware to latest release, 2021.03.1.

clicking the Refresh button should re-enable the HackRF if it does not respond.
