Hannes Wagner keinflughafen at yahoo.com> not enough contiguous DMA-capable memory because CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES is set too low etc I have the same error message running a standard ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-21-generic with 16 GB RAM. I'm not familiar with setting the right kernel options. My config file for the kernel just shows: CONFIG_CMA=y # CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is not set # CONFIG_CMA_DEBUGFS is not set CONFIG_CMA_AREAS=7 I haven't been able to receive a FM signal yet. My output from the fl2k_test shows: sudo fl2k_test -s 162e6 Allocating 6 zero-copy buffers libusb: error [op_dev_mem_alloc] alloc dev mem failed errno 12 Failed to allocate zero-copy buffer for transfer 4 Falling back to buffers in userspace Reporting PPM error measurement every 10 seconds...
