SDRSharp will not show "BladeRF" in the drop down menu

[nipunamr]

I have been trying to BladeRF x115 work with SDRSharp without any luck. I tried with both a windows7 and a windows 10 machine but couldn't get it to work. I followed the following youtube link first.

I also used the guide from your site as well and copied all the dlls to the main SDRSharp directory
https://github.com/jmichelp/sdrsharp-bladerf

I can't seem to get the BladeRF to show up in the drop down menu. I have noticed when I run BladRF-Cli program it crashes the first time and second time it works. when I do a "version" command I get the following,

BladeRF-cli version: 1.6.0
libbladeRF version: 2.0.0

Firmware version: 2.0.0
FPGA version: 0.7.3

when I go to zadig I see that following driver is installed

WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385)

USB ID 2CF0 5246

I did update the FrontEnds.xml and it looks like this now,

I was able to get a HackRF to work with SDRSharp and listen to a radio station, so I think something is wrong with the BladeRF driver, not sure though.

I appreciate your help

Thanks

It looks like this could be a duplicate from #16

Hi jmichelp-san,

I also saw that do not show Setting -> Source -> Drop down menu: BladeRF on SDR sharp.
On my environment
master (2019/10/28, d6e4f42) do not show "BladeRF",
the commit (2018/03/27, e0f44bd) show and work.

• My environment
  Windows 10 home, version 10.0.18363 build 18363
  SDR sharp v1.0.0.1732
  bladeRF x40 and XB-200

Your great plugin is helping me always, thanks.

Don't think it's a duplicate, they're two different issues, at least the symptoms are.

This one's with old bladeRF x115, and the symptom is BladeRF not showing up at all in SDR sharp.
#16 is new bladeRF 2.0 Micro A4, and symptom is "bladeRF sampling error".

FWIW, i'm getting the same thing described in this issue, except with bladeRF x40, not x115.

Additionally, trying an older version as per @takurx post does not help (same result).

As @orcinus said, it is a different problem, I also have an old BladeRF x115 and I have the same issues, i tried the different solutions and SDR# still do not show bladeRF :?

@nipunamr You may not need this information now. But i had the same problem. I used all instruction with main directory and YouTube link and only sdr# v1732 can my bladerf xA4. Newer version of sdr# dont find my bladerf.
