Hope someone can help. I have a LimeSDR USB (original one, full size) and I can’t seem to get it to work.
I’ve run the LimeQuickTest from within Linux and the RF Loopback test seems to be the point where it failed (although sometimes the LMS7002M Test fails). Here’s an example of the failure:

I’m not a super strong LimeSDR user, in fact I only really ever have used it once, so I could really use some help on the next steps for troubleshooting. I searched and didn’t see any similar problems.
Any ideas?
