Re: Ubuntu 20.04 cannot find the Hackrf board?

Incidentally, don't use sudo to run the hackrf on Linux.

You should be able to run the hackrf on Linux under your login userid -
you just need sudo to install the software on the system.

I suggest you subscribe to the hackrf list

   https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/hackrf-dev

they should be able to help you.
