Hi there,
what is the current way to install all the software to get the LimeSDR mini to work?
Adding the myriadrf ppa doesn’t anymore work like described in this post:
I simply want to use the LimeSDR together with SoapySDR for dump1090 reception.
Please, could someone just put the commands in here to install all the packages that I need?
Is it a LimeSDR mini 2.0 or just an old LimeSDR mini - that make a big difference in how hard it is to get things going on Bookworm.
If you do not mind using DragonOS on the Pi, here is a video that shows the install and use of dump1090 with the LimeSDR mini 2.0 -
Installing iqSDR on DragonOS.
I have an old min v1.3 and have to use an Pi 3 with bookworm for my application.
I stuck at the first step adding the ppa
pi@wb-home:~ $ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
Repository: 'deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/myriadrf/drivers/ubuntu/ bookworm main'

How to add them ?
With bookworm I do not think that you need the ppa at all. I did not need them with my install on bookworm 64 bits. I down loaded and installed the new LimeSuite-23.10.0 for my mini 2.0, but the old mini does not need the new LimeSuite. So, I would expect a simple
sudo apt-get install cubicsdr
or
sudo apt-get install gqrx-sdr
would get you a gqrx or CubicSDR that would run the LimeSDR mini
I want to run dump1090 / readsb on a pi, so gqrx or cubicsdr is not the right software for me. Thus I need to install all the SoapySDR and LimeSDR separately.
What of these packages do I actually need? I think only
liblimesuite-dev soapysdr-tools soapysdr-module-lms7 ?
limesuite liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev limesuite-images
soapysdr-tools soapysdr-module-lms7
If you can get dump1090-fa, to build with LIMESDR support - that will give you what you need -
I just ran cross this a few minutes ago.
