I actually came across this idea a few days ago in one of the Ubuntu forums.
One of the potential problems that I found on Wikipedia was as follows:
Known limitations of VMware products, as of February 2007, include the
following:
- VMware virtual machines provide no direct USB 2.0 support, but make USB 2.0
devices in the host operating-system visible to the guest operating-system as
USB 1.1 devices. According to the VMware Workstation 6.0 beta release notes,
version 6 will offer USB 2.0 support.
This would be a killer for USRP, however there seems to be hope in future
versions of VMware. If anybody is successful, this would be a great way to get
broader user base.
Personally, I have GNU Radio running under Cygwin on a Windows XP laptop
connected to a USRP. The installation experience was a bit painful, but if you
follow the directions given on http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/CygwinInstallMain
very carefully, you can get it all working. Also, I'm using Josh Blum's GNU
Radio Companion (GRC) development GUI ( http://www.joshknows.com/?key=grc ) and
it's very helpful. It's analogous to Simulink for those familiar with MATLAB.
I highly recommend it.
