[Hackrf-dev] PyBombs Install

Thu Sep 11 19:11:26 EDT 2014

It sounds like a driver or firmware conflict.

Could you provide some more details?
What version of Ubuntu?
What firmware is your Hackrf?

try resetting hackrf
try reinstalling libhackrf
try a different usb port
try ./pybombs clean hackrf and then ./pybombs install hackrf
