Hi @Zack,
I have bought two Limesdr-USB boards(LMS7002M) two weeks ago.
When i had setup the environment of limesdr(such as installing the limesuite, gnuradio, and uhd packages) in Ubuntu, i want to test the limesdr.
I followed the guide of the website: https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB_Quick_test.
After wget the self_test.ini and connect the limesdr device, i opened it in the limesuite, then I got the error " Failed to load file", just this message, no other information
I got the same problem when package/installer only, not building from source code.
But I found if copy self_test.ini into /usr/share/LimeSuite directory, and tell LimeSuite load from this directory, “Failed to load file: LoadConfig() - File not found” popup message will be gone !
New finding - I think it is the directory name problem. If there is any “unicode” in the full directory name like “download” by your local language like Chinese, it will make load ini failed.
I have this same problem but only when connecting to the LimeSDR through USB3, through USB2 I can load the self_test.ini without problems.I have the 17.07 HW 1.4 r2.8 rfb, but I’m not entirely sure what version is the FX3 .img I flashed on the device…
Hi,
I just got the LimeSDR USB and once all the proper driver and software installed without any issue: I tried to do the quick test from Myriad site.
Get the same error as you; as it read the file and write into the LimeSDR with errors and then it give you the error that it fail to load the file.
First file to use for Test: self_test.ini
[11:45:55] ERROR: Write(64 bytes) failed
But, after you press [Ok], you cannot have a proper device info, it is unknown device.
I do a reset (Unplug … Plug in again) redo a img & rbf , close the connection, reset again and then I can see the version.
Is the self_test.ini need to be uft-8 or another character set? or the file is too old for the new version:
I seemed to be facing the same issue… I’ve built LimeSuite from source on Raspberry Pi 3B and seeing the same error message of
“Failed to load file”
and also
“ERROR: Write(64 bytes) failed”
and the device seemed to be unknown after pressing OK. Serial number could not be detected by my Rpi (tried to perform “LimeUtil --update” but received an error message)
On my pi terminal, got several repeated warning messages after failing to load self_test ini:
(LimeSuiteGUI:1454): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:55:15.099: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -5 and height 23
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
My firmware and software are all updated and self_test.ini could load and everything works perfectly when I tried it using windows (not built from source)
I am also running into this issue on a raspberry pi with Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster). I built Limesuite from scratch and while I am able to load self_test.ini on my Windows 10 machine successfully, it fails on my pi. (Note: LimeQuickTest on the pi fails the loopback test but passes all others. LimeQuickTest on windows doesn’t print anything)
Same here, as described by maw. Am using the PiSDR Raspian image from https://pisdr.luigifreitas.me/, which provides LimeSuite built from source on an RPi4. My Limesdr USB has up to date firmware. I can also verify that the board functions properly in Win 10.
