I must be a little bit stupid, but cannot find in the wiki how to run “LimeQuickTest”, and “lime suite GUI” on linux 18.04.—just found in another post ! == board tests PASSED
But if my limeSDR mini is seen by limesuite, it is not seen by soapysdr :
Lib Version: v0.8.0-gcda0a389
API Version: v0.8.0
ABI Version: v0.8
Install root: /usr/local
Search path: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8 (missing)
No modules found!
Available factories… No factories found!
Available converters…
Wouldn’t have thought it would matter so much with packages, but this is important when building from source, since if SoapySDR is not installed when you build Lime Suite, it won’t build support for it.
§§ “Install Soapy SDR support drivers for your hardware:” there is a list of different hardwares, nothing for the limesdr hardware.
But I have installed “sudo apt-get install soapysdr-tools soapysdr-module-lms7” as requested in the limesuite wiki
Can someone detail the links to follow in order to make soapy working with a limesdr mini ?
The wiki looks like a jungle where all is possible and nothing sure !
Thanks.
Just adding to this…I did test SoapySDR latest version 0.8 and 0.7… Lime products only work up to 0.7.1.
Theory…when installing LimeSuite on Ubuntu you would have to install the following packages as they are part of the pre-reqs: libsoapysdr-dev arm64 0.7.1-myriadrf1~ubuntu18.04 ( i am using and ARM device). and soapysdr0.7-module-lms7
What I am noticing is that there are no deb packages for libsoapysdr-dev and soapysdr0.7-module-lms7. for SoapySDR v0.8. Is there a 0.8 version of those packages out in the wild? I am guessing with out it, it wouldn’t be able to bind with Soapy0.8?? Let me know if i am wrong.
