Lime Mini SDR error message during update

Projects LimeSDR
1

I am running a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8GB with 128GB mini SD-Card

I have updated this post with quicktest results, and changed topic to LimeSDR.

In https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR_Firmware_Management it is stated that it is important to update the firmware, and that this shall be performed using the command:
LimeUtil --update

LimeUtil --update gives the error message:
jon@la6cda:~ $ LimeUtil --update
Connected to [LimeSDR Mini [USB 3.0] 1D53882739A85F]
Invalid image file

Programming update failed!

LimeUtil --info gives:

So, the QuickTest passes, and still the update is failing.

Is there anything wring with the card?

This looks like the download got corrupted. If you could delete the contents of:

~/.local/share/LimeSuite/images

And try running update again.

Excellent!
I tried, and now the update performs perfectly, and LimeQuickTest still reports success.

Thank you very much!
