I feel terrible posting this but I have been failing to get my new lime sdr mini to work the last few days. Before posting I read the discourse readme, followed install instructions by myriadrf, and ran the sdrtest. I’ve tried following guides to install on fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 and windows 10. I will separate my post into two sections for each OS and where each gets stuck.
I have been able to update firmware with the limesuite.exe on win 10 as well.
Windows 10:
LimeUtil and SoapySDRUtil can find device however cannot listen to anything in gqrx.
As you can see I have many different options. I am able to connect with the ettus soapy lime sdr mini,and using other with “driver=lime,soapy=3” (since soapySDRUtil returns the lime mini as device 3). I cannot connect to gqrx using the option in the drop down staring with LimeSDR.
Fresh Ubuntu 18.04 w/ Virtual Box:
I tried installing using both PPA and building from source using this guide mainly;
I have ensured I have guest additions and am using usb 3.0 LimeUtil and SoapySDRUtil can find the device.
However when i launch gqrx and use other as device and “driver=lime,soapy=0” and start DSP processing no waterfall appears.
Hopefully I’ve provided enough information to show that I have attempted to solve this problem myself and someone can help me! Admittedly I am very new to the world of sdr. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
