[Hackrf-dev] hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB

[Paul Connolly]

That is a very good question. The drivers, from what I can see, for this
moment are mostly to allow SDR hardware to work as v4l devices (hence RX
only). But eventually I'm sure that all SDR devices will be treated like
network drivers are today. And hopefully gnuradio and these drivers will
meet somewhere in a middle ground with a single very good API, that
allows TX as well as RX. But for the moment, it is either have these
drivers in place and not use gnuradio or disable them and use gnuradio.

Exactly like rtlsdr is today, by default it is a TV tuner, unless you
blacklist the dvb_usb_rtl28xxu, e4000, rtl2832 modules.
