I was following this quicktest, selecting the LimeSDR Mini is OK, but when I open the self_test.ini file, it failes with these errors :

That guide is for LimeSDR USB, so it’s .ini file is not going to work for LimeSDR Mini, it needs different settings.

ok (should be specified in this online documentation) -> is there a quicktest for LimeSDR Mini ?
I’ve seen there is a huge post with similar error -> let’s start a new one with a clear step by step quicktest for LimeSDR Mini with LimeSuiteGUI.

As far as I know, no.

I guess this one should be directed to @andrewback

There is a standalone self-test utility for Windows. See:

Thank you @andrewback, but my platform is OS X 10.12.6 :wink:

This post covers Windows only.

@Zack, do we have a Linux/Mac version of this utility in the works?

8

@andrewback, We do not. But will create source code GitHub repository.

Is there an update on this? Any non-Windows quick- or self- test for the LimeSDR mini? @Zack
