Frequently Asked Questions

How do I resolve UHD firmware mismatch errors?

TelcoChisel includes pre-downloaded firmware images. Ensure they are loaded to /usr/share/uhd/images or run the built-in images downloader.

Does UHD work inside a VM?

Yes, but VMware or VirtualBox must be configured for USB 3.1 xHCI passthrough, and sample rates must be kept low to avoid buffer underruns.
