Hi everybody,

I am using LimeSDR mini 2.0. I installed the SoapySDR and the LimeSuite as usual but I was not able to update the device as shown bellow. Could someone help me to find what is wrong? Thanks, Sindi.

the err bcz the default server url dont have the file, first time u run the update command, it can download 0 size file. u can manually download firmware file in this url,  
[https://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/20.10/LimeSDR-Mini\_HW\_2.0\_r2.2.bit](https://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/20.10/LimeSDR-Mini_HW_2.0_r2.2.bit)  
replace 0 size file to try update.  
but I can’t guarantee that this is the correct operation, because I found the file manually.  
it work for me, and i can use sdrangel transmit signal on my macbook, so i guess its OKay
