LimeSDR under SDR-Console

Simon,

I seem to recall a couple others being able to use old drivers with the new boards. There may have been a release that included the new PIDs, but kept the old device name. I would uninstall the old drivers and install the new signed ones.

There is a link to update the USB driver for win10 and others, if I can find it again, bear with me…

I’ve been through the process described on the Wiki. As Andrew says, I must update an image but I need help doing this.

I downloaded the image files I listed and then under limesuite and programming, I selected the img file and it uploaded, and the same with the rbf for the fpga

Is this with a new or old card?

New card… And then the link for the USB driver is here…

@SimonG4ELI what hardware version do you have?

Maybe 1.2? I’ve got a new FX3 image loaded (thanks Paul), device shows up correctly in Device Manager but I can’t get the rbf to load, always ‘Read Failed’.

Simon, the hardware revision is printed on the board.

You must think I’m stupid - and you’re right :slight_smile:

v1.2s

@SimonG4ELI the latest available builds for that hardware revision are:

FX3: http://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/17.01/LimeSDR-USB_HW_1.2_r3.0.img
FPGA: http://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/17.01/LimeSDR-USB_HW_1.1_r1.20.rbf

For details of hardware revision compatibility see the README files at:


Thanks, I’ll try these two and see if 'owt 'appens :slight_smile:

Simon,

If you’re stupid, what does that make the rest of us… Ahahah You Sir are one of the cleverest people I know… God help us ALL… :slight_smile:

FWIW my board is now running with the latest git code. Just going to try an antenna…

,…and it works.

Will make kit for you to try.

Tried that, no luck…

64-bit kit: [Clicky here]

Uses the latest GIT code, updated as per Andrew’s (RTFM) help, only tested with a v1.2s board.

Listening to Ian Dury on BBC Radio 2…

Note - if both LNA and TIA gains are at Max it doesn’t do anything, must be a bug or something…

Let me know if it works please.

@nn4f_radio
I just noticed, my device string was actually “soapy=0,driver=lime” … I don’t know if order matters here. Also, did you try every combination/permutation of sample rates and bandwidths?
I also may have had Lime Suite open and the example.ini loaded before I tried. I’m sorry I didn’t keep better track of my order of operations.

Hopefully @SimonG4ELI’s kit just works. This is exciting, and making me eager to get home!

Trying on a 1.4 board now… :slight_smile:

My tests show this is not as robust as the previous API code.

^^^ Ignore this, dog kicked a cable out of the PC.

OK,

  1. Don’t set LNA or TIA to max, seems to stop the device.
  2. Don’t set PGA too high.

Maybe the API doc changed, will check tomorrow. Attached is a screenshot of FM Stereo.
