Hello @Aarti_18

This is the setup sequence I’ve used for all the involved SW:

01-windows-usb-driver
that you can download from this page
on windows this driver is needed to have the board properly recognized

02-PothosSDR
that you can download from this web folder
after this setup you can download just the LimeSuiteGUI exe file downloading the most recent one from this web folder

03-SDR-Console V3
you can download this wonderful program from this web page

04-quick-test-files
you can download the files from the quick test page

05-FPGA-fw-update
I have performed this step from within the LimeSuiteGUI

06-HF-MOD
I did this just because I’m working at HF frequencies. Seems not needed at other (higher) frequencies.
Instructions are at this web page

07-IQ-calibration
you can run the Python calibration program \PothosSDR\bin\LimeSuiteCalibrate.py

bye,
mario

@mariocannistra : Thanks for your reply. One more question, I am planning to install eNodeB Stack from OpenAirInterface using ubunut 16.04 OS. Is there any pre-requirement for the same ? Thanks In advance.

Hello @martywittrock you’re welcome ! :smile:

When I install something new, I usually create separate folders with bookmarks, then I number them when I’m sure of the sequence… you know… sometimes i have to reinstall after months when changing PC or OS and… I can’t remember everything… :smile:
