EEPROM or LimeSDR

What the purpose of EEPROM connected to LMS transceiver? As long as I understand it may be used to work without any external DSP/FPGA. But Is it used any how in LimeSDR-USB/LimeSDR-mini?

Hi @b.shubenok,

It is used to store LMS7002M MCU firmware if needed.

I understand what it was designed for. But is it used in LimeSDR? For example, if I’ll design my board using LimeSDR as a reference should I keep it - transceiver would not work properly without firmware - or I can remove it without any damage to transceiver functionality?

Hi @b.shubenok,

Ah, now I see. Transceiver will work without firmware.
