I am wondering if there is a way to install LimeSDR on OpenInterface eNodeB? If someone can point me in the right direction or just give me a starting point, that would be great. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 OS. Thank you

Regards,  
Andrew

From the old eurocom fr website.

```
git clone https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g.git
cd YOUR_openairinterface5g_DIRECTORY
source oaienv (Very important. It sets the correct environment variables)
cd cmake_targets
./build_oai -I --install-optional-packages (need to run only once)
./build_oai -h (for more options) 

```

**Install, Build eNB**

```
package installation + EXMIMO Driver Installation: ./build_oai -I --install-optional-packages
package installation + USRP Driver installation : ./build_oai -I --install-optional-packages -w USRP
package installation + BladeRF Driver Installation: ./build_oai -I --install-optional-packages -w BLADERF
eNB + EXMIMO + test: ./build_oai --eNB -w EXMIMO -c -s
eNB + USRP: ./build_oai --eNB -c -w USRP
eNB+ ETHERNET : build_oai.bash --eNB -c -w ETHERNET 

```

**Build LTE Simulations (L3/L2/L1)**

```
unitary L1 simulations: ./build_oai --phy_simulators
oaisim: ./build_oai --oaisim (build oaisim with S1 support)
oaisim_nos1:./build_oai --oaisim --noS1 (build oaisim without S1 support) 

```

These will create directories under cmake\_targets corresponding to the different targets. These are the main directories:

```
lte_noS1_build_oai (see notes below for further building instructions) : L1/L2 + Linux IP interface (i.e. no S1 interface). This is a target which will work with and OAI eNB and OAI UE only.
oaisim_build_oai : oaisim with S1
lte_build_oai: eNB/UE build with S1/NAS
lte-simulators: unitary PHY simulators
oaisim_noS1_build_oai: oaisim without S1 

```

Notes:

```
Add -x to enable xforms (soft scope)
Add -V to enable VCD file generation
Add -K /tmp/itti_enb.log for itti logs
For lte_noS1_build_oai do the following: 

```

Build:

```
cd lte_noS1_build_oai
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make lte-softmodem -j4

```

**Building the EPC modules**

```
git clone https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openair-cn.git
cd YOUR_openair-cn_DIRECTORY
cd SCRIPTS
./build_epc -i (Need to run only once to install missing packages)
./build_hss -i (Need to run only once to install missing packages)

```

The detailed instructions for EPC are located in: YOUR\_openair-cn\_DIRECTORY/DOCS/EPC\_User\_Guide.pdf

**Hope that helps.**

Thank you very much for the response. I will give it a try and respond back to you with either more questions or acknowledgement saying that it works.

Hi,

I usually use the following sequence to install/run OAI eNB with LimeSDR:

0 Install LimeSuite from git (if not already installed).

1. git clone [https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g](https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g)
2. cd openairinterface5g
3. git checkout develop
4. cd cmake\_targets
5. ./build\_oai -I --eNB -x -w LMSSDR
6. cd lte\_build\_oai/build
7. sudo ./lte-softmodem -O …/…/…/targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf --rf-config-file …/…/…/targets/ARCH/LMSSDR/LimeSDR\_above\_1p8GHz\_1v4.ini

Note that you have to edit file “enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf” for your EPC configuration.

Hi @IgnasJ

I am on step 7. I think I have configure my files correctly but I am not entirely sure. When I run the command for step 7, I get a blue line that says:  
“Waiting for eNB application to be ready …”

It seems to go on forever, I am just wondering if this is linked to the configuration of the “enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf” or if there is another factor that I might not be considering.  
I used the same git clone as the [https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g](https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g) and I build the LimeSuite from source [https://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime\_Suite](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite).

Hi @Andrew_23,

Is EPC running? If yes, then something wrong with configuration, while eNB can not communicate with EPC.

From my experience it indicates that eNB is not able to connect to EPC/MME. Either because it is not running on specified IP address or because it is rejecting eNB connection. So you should verify that 1) EPC/MME is running 2) correct MME IP address is set in eNB config file 3) check EPC/MME messages/logs to see if there is any activity. If you are using OAI EPC you can try asking for help on their mailing list.

I think this message appears before opening hardware (you should be able to get to this point without board connected to PC) so it is general stack configuration issue.

Hey @IgnasJ,

We decided to restart the build and installation of the eNodeB and I came across an issue in step 7 again. This is a different problem and I am wondering if you might know what the problem is or what might cause this problem.

We fixed the issue by first entering the ldconfig command. Then we re did step 7 and it worked fine.

As you go through, step by step building dependencies, it is often a good idea after each to execute ldconfig in case the next one depends on the previous.

I’m trying OAI following this, if anyone knows a better guide please steer me to it – [All in one OpenAirInterface – 4G and 5G reference software](https://open-cells.com/index.php/2017/08/22/all-in-one-openairinterface-august-22nd/) (did the build for -w LMSSDR ok).

Got everything to run but there’s a mismatch between eNB and mme - anyone seen this?

> [S1AP][E][s1ap\_eNB\_handle\_s1\_setup\_failure] Received s1 setup failure for MME… please check your parameters

repeats over and over while mme complains

> There is too much eNB connected to MME, rejecting the association

Just started this today so will continue to stare and compare. The guide is for Ubuntu 17 and I’m still using 16.04LTS. Another issue was installing the low-latency kernel but the gtp kernel model was built for the latest normal version.

Ah, nevermind - it was an easy mismatch of MNC -

> targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf

had mobile\_network\_code = ‘93’ (cant even find that [http://www.mcc-mnc.com/](http://www.mcc-mnc.com/) ), while

> /usr/local/etc/oai/mme.conf

had MCC 92

Got activity now ☀

Here’s Band13 spectrum in gqrx / usrp1 using closed coax system with 10db attenuator - for the police because there is a real 751MHz cell nearby. Using enb.band13.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf which got error about a few entries missing so just copied them from enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf

Changed, again:  
mobile\_network\_code = “92”;  
added:  
node\_function = “eNodeB\_3GPP”;  
node\_timing = “synch\_to\_ext\_device”;  
node\_synch\_ref = 0;  
nb\_antenna\_ports = 1;  
ue\_TransmissionMode = 1;

and getting this spectrum at 751MHz  
[![](http://swigerco.com/OAI_Band13_LMSSDR.jpg) ](http://swigerco.com/OAI_Band13_LMSSDR.jpg)

Just noticed the ext ref lock LED is going OFF - tried setting node\_timing above to “synch\_to\_other” and that does not work at all, gets Unknown eNB-\>node\_function 0.  
enb\_config.c seems to have all the choices - node\_function choice: eNodeB\_3GPP or eNodeB\_3GPP\_BBU or NGFI\_IF4\_RCC or NGFI\_IF4\_RRU or NGFI\_IF5\_RRU

Just saved a lot of my time. I was also seeing the exact same error and found the same solution from your answer!

Hi everybody

I have implemented OAI using Limesdr and the phone can recognize the network and also can connect to it  
I have stable connection between UE and the network

But when i wanted to start using DATA ( Internet ) i get Notting and the UE cant reach to the network!  
I checked the Wireshark log and everything is fine except CHECKSUM ERROR IN TCP connection, i double check my physical connections and other things! but still have such problem!

How can i fix the Internet problem?

I’m using LIMESDR 7002D USB

Thanks
