Arcticdx.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-sd includes a nice comment ' 'I have an SDRPlay RSPdx and also a Microtelecom Perseus used wit twitter.com/i/web/status/1. HackRF environment can be setup in multiple Linux. Like: Ubuntu, Debian, Kali. This document show you that how to setup HackRF on kali linux. You can follow this guide to make sure that your HackRF is working on Kali Linux. If you want to buy a HackRF, you can go to this link, which is a offical link to tell you whole things about this device.

Connection of the HackRF One SDR to an Orange Pi Pc2 or Orange PI One Plus running on ARMBIAN or a Radpberry PI.

HackRF Library

Updating the HackRF One’s firmware Instructions might be a bit unclear on how to ugrade the HackRF’s firmware, so here’s a short step-by-step guide. The HackRF is an exceptionally capable software defined radio (SDR) transceiver, but naturally you need to connect it to a computer to actually do anything with it.

In console mode, update your system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install the library for hackrf:

sudo apt-get install hackrf

Connect the hackrf to an USB port and check it:

hackrf_info

If the installation is good, you will get a response “Found HackRF” etc … Sometimes with some USB cables that connect the HackRF, there is no response. Change the cable in this case.

Installation GNU Radio Companion

GNU Radio Companion is a graphical tool allowing you to build radio processing chains very easily without writing a line of code.

sudo apt-get install gnuradio

Installation Osmocom SDR and RTL-SDR Drivers

sudo apt-get update

Installation of the USB library:

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev

Hackrf One Driver Install

We clone Osmocom in the user’s Downloads folder for example:

Hackrf

cd ~/Downloads

sudo git clone https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr.git

Go to the folder rtl-sdr: cd rtl-sdr

sudo mkdir build

cd build

sudo cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON -DDETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER=ON

At this point I sometimes got an error because the pkg-config package was not found. Make:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config

and relaunch the cmake from above.

sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Osmocom source module installation

sudo apt-get install gr-osmosdr

GNU Radio launch

You have to be in graphics mode to be able to use this superb signal processing design tool. Personally, I use my orange-pi or raspberry in remote mode. I connect to them by enabling VNC in setup and using the VNC extension in chrome on my PC. On a terminal in graphics mode type:

gnuradio-companion

A message “RANDR” missing … is not important.

Error Xterm executable is missing

If you have when launching a model in gnuradio companion a message of the type Xterm executable is missing and if you are on Armbian or Raspbian (raspberry) go to the configuration folder.

cd ~/.gnuradio

edit grc.conf

sudo nano grc.conf

and add at the end of the file:

First of all, check that the terminal is installed on your machine. Otherwise installed it with:

sudo apt install lxterminal

Purchases

The HackRF being developed in Open Source can be bought in China at Aliexpress for a hundred Euros. To use it, the Orange Pi solution is very interesting. We forget the Orange Pi Zero which, following the treatment defined in GNU-RADIO, quickly risks running out of power. We are going to move towards 64-bit 4-core processors like the H5 or the H6. I have successfully tested Orange Pi PC2 H5 and Orange PI One Plus H6 for SSB reception and SSB transmission.

The Orange PI PC2 has the following advantages:

  • several USB2 if you want to connect different SDRs
  • An audio output on headphone jack, useful for an HF receiver

The Orange PI One Plus has the following advantages:

  • The minimum required to control a Hack RF or a RTL-SDR from the network (USB, Ethernet 1Gb / s)
  • A very low price: less than 30 € with food and transport (Ebay or Aliexpress)

Project 5.6 HackRF One, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and GNU Radio Companion


The above screen capture and image are a HackRF One controlled by GNU Radio Companion software running on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B computer at 42% CPU load.

The Waterfall Plot is the complete 2 meter amateur radio band from 144 MHz to 148 MHz showing mostly FM stations activity.

  • The signal spike at the center is DC offsets.
    • Removing DC offset in GNU Radio.
  • The string of Os in the bottom of the GNU Radio screen capture occurs when program is first started.

HackRF One is a software-defined radio (SDR) with half-duplex transceiver (receiver and a very low power transmitter) capability with a very wide frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz.

HackRF One interfaces to a computer with USB cable.

HackRF One interfaces to the antenna with SMA female connector.

HackRF One is open source hardware and open source hardware.
