Hi all,
I have followed the LimeSDR wiki to setup LimeSuite and succeeded to run LimeSuiteGUI with my LimeSDR-USB. All seem to be fine. Then I updated the firmware and gateware to:
LimeSDR-USB_HW_1.4_r2.21.rbf LimeSDR-USB_HW_1.4_r4.0.img
It still works fine. However, then I reconnect the device to my Computer and everything changed. I tried reboot my computer, reinstall the LimeSuite, nothing helps.
The device is LimeSDR-USB v1.4s. My OS is Ubuntu 18.04. The LimeSuite version info is:
bliu@LB702:LimeSuite$ LimeUtil --info

There are some very helpful info in Just trying to get started, having no luck
I fixed this problem with fxload -t fx3 -I LimeSDR-USB_fx3_fw.img -D /dev/bus/usb/001/022.
But then I found that whenever I reconnect my device from the computer, the USB device ID changes. So I need to reload the firmware to the “new” USB device again. Now it’s under /dev/bus/usb/001/022, will there be an end? How can I permanently get it solved? Many thanks!
