I am testing LimeSuiteNG with a LimeSDR-USB using Soapy until I receive an XTRX and gr-limesdr plugin development has settled down.
I can appreciate that the old hardware support is of low priority but thought this may useful to report.
Lime Suite version: 0.1.0-ge48a4a20
soapy runtime library v0.8.1-g8c6cb7c5 (built from source)
Executing:
SoapySDRUtil --args=“driver=limesuiteng” -rate=25e6 --format=CS16 --channels=“0” --direction=RX
produces:
[INFO] Device name: LimeSDR-USB
[INFO] Reference: 30.72 MHz
[INFO] LMS7002M register cache: Disabled
[INFO] Sampling rate set(25.000 MHz): CGEN:400.000 MHz, Decim: 2^2, Interp: 2^2
Stream format: CS16
Num channels: 1
Element size: 4 bytes
Begin RX rate test at 25 Msps
Starting stream loop, press Ctrl+C to exit…
[ERROR] readStream() experienced non-monotonic timestamp
Unexpected stream error CORRUPTION
It runs as expected with the legacy driver:
SoapySDRUtil --args=“driver=lime” -rate=25e6 --format=CS16 --channels=“0” --direction=RX
