com.s33me If You Want Some: Pentoo Live USB, GNURadio and HackRF

1. Downloaded Pentoo live ISO from

2. Used a 64 GB USB drive to created a bootable flash drive with 16GB of file persistence using Rufus at

3. Configured Windows to boot from the USB and reboot to flash drive.

4. Once in Pentoo, I opened a command window and typed:

sudo gnuradio-companion

5. Sudo because, I needed to run as root in order to save files to the persistence directory.

6. Plugged in HackRF and typed

hackrf_info

to get the

Serial number: 000000000000000075b068dc3234a207.

7. In the Osmocom Source block, I needed to specify the Device Arguments as

"hackrf=000000000000000075b068dc3234a207"

and sync as

"Unknown PPS"

8. In addition, the Audio Sink block needs a device name, which will displayed after typing in the command window

aplay -L

9. In my case, I saw a line in the output that said "hdmi:CARD=Generic, DEV=0"

10. This is the device name in quotes that must be in the Audio Sink block.

11. This a photo of the flow chart. Sorry had to use phone, because I still have no WiFi with Pentoo.
