Hello,  
You don’t need to install/update PCIe drivers on Ubuntu. If your board is properly programmed it should be detected by LimeSuite without installing additional drivers for PCIe.

I am new for SDR. Just want to evaluation the performance of this SDR. Could you like to give me guide on how to program it or what process should be followed?

Thanks again.

As far as I know, it should be programmed in factory.  
You can do initial testing using LimeSuiteGUI [https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB\_Quick\_Test](https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-USB_Quick_Test)
