Hi everyone,  
My LimeSDR-USB board had gateware 2.23 version before. I have downloaded the official gateware code from GitHub and compiled it. When I flashed it to my board, the LimeSuiteGui showed a warning that said my gateware version was 2.24. I do not understand how this is possible since I have used the same code from GitHub, and it was v2.23. Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened? Btw the board is still running fine.

Hi, I wanted to follow up and see if there was a solution to this issue? I am experiencing a similar problem. Thanks!

If you build the bitstream yourself it will be [2.24](https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB_GW/blob/master/src/revision/revision.vhd), because that was the last revision configured in the gateware (2021-08-02).  
But if you installed a pre-made binary bitstream the last one released was [2.23](https://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/20.10/) (2020-10-29). And if the tools used to check were pre-made, that is the revision they would expect to find.

After quickly reviewing [the changes made](https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB_GW/commits/master) between 2.23 and 2.24 on github I suspect that it is safe to totally ignore that warning message.

EDIT:  
Looks like my links are out of date:  
The recommended gateware can now be found at “[https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB#USB3\_MCU\_and\_FPGA\_Binaries](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB#USB3_MCU_and_FPGA_Binaries)” and that is 2.24 but the [latest version of limesuite listed was released a year earlier](https://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/limesuite/), which is the exact same [revision as the one released on github](https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite/releases). So the tool that checks the gateware revision was released a year before the current recommended firmware was released. The best solution would be for a new binary of LimeSuite to be released that expects to find 2.24.
