Hi,
I recently got a LimeSDR Mini and I’m going through the tutorials. I’m trying to make the C example works but it fails when making the device. When it calls:
SoapySDRKwargs_set(&args, "driver", "lime");
SoapySDRDevice *sdr = SoapySDRDevice_make(&args);
It returns:
SoapySDRDevice_make fail: SoapySDR::Device::make() no match**
**
Here’s the current state of my setup:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04. Fresh install.
LimeUtil -find returns:
* [LimeSDR Mini, media=USB 3.0, module=FT601, addr=24607:1027, serial=1D4C36DC679185]
SoapySDRUtil -find returns:
######################################################
## Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library ##
######################################################
Found device 0
addr = 24607:1027
driver = lime
label = LimeSDR Mini [USB 3.0] 1D4C36DC679185
media = USB 3.0
module = FT601
name = LimeSDR Mini
serial = 1D4C36DC679185
SoapySDR and LimeSuite were both installed trough the source code following the guides at:
https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/wiki/BuildGuide
https://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite
SoapySDR was installed first.
apt list informs me that these packages were installed:
soapysdr0.6-module-airspy/bionic,now 0.1.1-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
soapysdr0.6-module-audio/bionic,now 0~git20160607-3build1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

soapysdr0.6-module-uhd/bionic,now 0.3.4-1build1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
I don’t know if it’s related but there is no LimeSDR in it. I feel like I’m missing a simple step to add the Lime device in a way that the API can look it up. I apologize in advance if I simply missed an installation step, I’m fairly new to SDR.
Note, I can listen to the radio using CubeSDR. So it seems is just the API that can’t find it.
Bonus question: Strangely, when I listen to the radio with CubeSDR my laptop disconnect from the Wifi and I fail to detect most Wifi signals. When I stop CubeSDR it gets back to normal…
Thanks!
