I use macOS with an M3 CPU model. I can successfully identify the HackRF One in GQRX, but I can't find my device using SoapySDRUtil --find. What steps might I be missing?

By the way, I installed SoapySDRUtil automatically using brew when installing GNURadio.

You don't have a hackrf module installed. It should be in /opt/homebrew/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8

I only see librtlsdrSupport.so. What should I do next, or what else should I install?

Thank you.

You need this https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyHackRF
No idea if that is available as brew package.

Following the wiki it should be.

I will try to compile and install it. Thank you.

Please note here that if you are using brew-installed Soapy, the compiled and installed SoapyHackRF will appear in the wrong directory:

/usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8/libHackRFSupport.so

You need to specify the file location during compilation:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew ..

Or copy it after compilation.
