I can get my Lime USB to work, for a little while, but it inevitable fails then needs to be cold started.
Is it defective?
It’s been updated: Firmware is 4, Gateware is 2.18.
USB is 3.0 with external 12V, 2A supply.
Heatsink kit has been applied.
In Pothos, running simple_fm_demod, CPU is below 30% , then I get:
[04:28:04.177000] SoapySDR: Read(64 bytes) failed
[04:28:04.201000] SoapySDR: SetFrequencySXR(101 MHz) - cannot deliver frequency

[04:28:05.183000] SoapySDR: SetFrequencySXR(101.9 MHz) - cannot deliver frequency
Then, if I try to use Suite, on connecting I get:
[20:29:43] WARNING: Gateware version mismatch!
Expected gateware version 2, revision 18
But found version 0, revision 0
Follow the FW and FPGA upgrade instructions:
http://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite#Flashing_images
Or run update on the command line: LimeUtil --update
[20:29:43] INFO: Reference clock 30.72 MHz
[20:29:43] INFO: Connected Control port: LimeSDR-USB FW:4 HW:0 Protocol:1 GW:0.0 Ref Clk: 30.72 MHz
Then Quicktest gives:
