I did the test with version 0.2.0, here is what I have : OpenBTS 1st test - #46 by Ninobrtv
How to have something rather stable with LimeSDR Mini?
What is the best version of osmo-trx for you?
I did the test with Ubuntu 16.04.4 64-bit, I can not run LimeSDR Mini. Lime Suite and Soapy no find device.
LimeSDR Mini can make OpenBTS work … You just have to find a stable configuration. LimeSDR-Mini has a lot of potential.
Please, can you tell me how to do it ?
I have transceive52 not transceiver1, I think I’m doing things wrong.
A little instruction on how to install and configure LimeSDR Mini forOpenBTS.
You have to take Ubuntu 16.04 (not 16.04.4 or other)
Then installed manually in the order: SoapySDR, LimeSuite, uhd, SoapyUHD
I have not yet stabilized the operation of OpenBTS, if I can, I will put the info here.
Thank you all for your help.
i have the error like this," Error probing device: LookupError: KeyError: No devices found for – "what did you do for avoiding this ?
No need to do that to make OpenBTS work.
Otherwise I did not manage to do it.
But didn’t you use soapyUHD ? because the soapyUHD gives me this error : ," Error probing device: LookupError: KeyError: No devices found for – "
Try SoapySDRUtil --info and SoapySDRUtil --probe

everything seems ok for OpenBTS.
No need to do : SoapySDRUtil --probe=“driver=uhd,type=b200”. It does not work with LimeSDR-Mini
so you just do soapyUHD --probe=“driver=lime” for openBTS? and for the you use also osmo-trx so ?
Yes that’s it.
Osmo-trx recognizes limesdr, so no need to do fake.
Hello,
Yes, OpenBTS works well with LimeSDR-Mini.
I no longer have the limesdr, it was not mine and I returned it. Is there anyone who has one more, like his I can write him a tutorial for OpenBTS.
Thank you all.
However, why do you want to use OpenBTS?
maybe he want to study openbts-umts after because the osmo-iuh doesn’t yet run with sdr !!!
hey Ninobrtv, is it possible to have some summarize ho did you do to run openbts with LimeSDR-Mini? it’s interested me?
I would like to help you but I do not have a limesdr, I had the limesdr-mini of a friend to do the installation. Now I do not have it anymore.
Not for the limesdr but for the limesdr-mini. i don’t have also limesdr but only limesdr-mini !!!
Yes I had a friend’s limesdr-mini, not the limesdr.
I confirm that limesdr-mini works with openbts on port usb 3.0 and usb 2, I do the installation and he is using it now.
