I actually came across this idea a few days ago in one of the Ubuntu forums. One of the potential problems that I found on Wikipedia was as follows: Known limitations of VMware products, as of February 2007, include the following: - VMware virtual machines provide no direct USB 2.0 support, but make USB 2.0 devices in the host operating-system visible to the guest operating-system as USB 1.1 devices. According to the VMware Workstation 6.0 beta release notes, version 6 will offer USB 2.0 support. This would be a killer for USRP, however there seems to be hope in future versions of VMware. If anybody is successful, this would be a great way to get broader user base. Personally, I have GNU Radio running under Cygwin on a Windows XP laptop connected to a USRP. The installation experience was a bit painful, but if you follow the directions given on http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/CygwinInstallMain very carefully, you can get it all working. Also, I'm using Josh Blum's GNU Radio Companion (GRC) development GUI ( http://www.joshknows.com/?key=grc ) and it's very helpful. It's analogous to Simulink for those familiar with MATLAB. I highly recommend it. John Stralka ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell. Get more on shows you hate to love (and love to hate): Yahoo!
