LimeSDR under SDR-Console

Andrew,

Using my development board it always shows as Cypress FX3 USB StreamExample Device in the Device manager, not Myriad-RF LimeSDR-USB.

When I select Options / ConnectionSettings I see the window:

The programming window is also different:

Help!

Have you installed the latest PothosSDR DE, which as of now is: PothosSDR-2017.01.22-vc14-x64.exe ?

http://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/

Sounds like you have an older firmware image loaded if itā€™s being enumerated with the Cypress VID and example PID, instead of the LimeSDR PID and Openmoko VID.

Andrew,

Please point me in the right direction to get the board updated so I can help the owners of the new cards.

@andrewback
Yes that is there version I grabbed last night, but the auto tried the earlier version, I grabbed the images manually and all installed OK, so now we await simons update

I have Hw1.3r3.0 img and the 1.4r2.2 rbf, which I think are the latestā€¦

Simon,

Images are hereā€¦ Http://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/17.01/

Paul,

Doesnā€™t help!

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 meā€¦

Iā€™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 cardā€¦ And then the link for the USB driver is hereā€¦

@SimonG4ELI what hardware version do you have?

Maybe 1.2? Iā€™ve got a new FX3 image loaded (thanks Paul), device shows up correctly in Device Manager but I canā€™t get the rbf to load, always ā€˜Read Failedā€™.

Simon, the hardware revision is printed on the board.

You must think Iā€™m stupid - and youā€™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, Iā€™ll try these two and see if 'owt 'appens :slight_smile:

Simon,

If youā€™re stupid, what does that make the rest of usā€¦ Ahahah You Sir are one of the cleverest people I knowā€¦ God help us ALLā€¦ :slight_smile:
