LimeSDR Mini 2.0 Failing Programming and Self Tests

Hello,

I am a student attempting to use the LimeSDR through GNU Radio for my senior project. A few weeks ago, I was able to run the LimeQuickTest on my Raspbery Pi5 running Ubuntu and it was passing all. I have to teach other students in my class how to setup their own Lime Mini’s, so I started on a fresh Ubuntu image to try again. I followed the same method I did the first time, and now I am not passing any tests. When I run “LimeUtil --update”, programming fails, however I am still able to see the device with “–find”.

I have already visited these threads and tried to implement their solutions with no luck:

https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/all-read-write-fail-on-my-limesdr-mini/3108/14

Most specifically of all of these, replacing the 0 bytes file for programming did not seem to fix this issue. I have also attempted to run the Quick Test on my Windows 11 machine with the exact same problems. This does not seem to be board specific, I tried a fresh Mini 2.0 and experienced all the same problems. Please let me know if I can provide any more useful information

What version of LimeSuite are you using? LimeSDR Mini v2 can be seen by old version software as familiar device, even though that software might not have specific support for it, that would result in tests not working properly.
