New LimeSDR mini - RF Loopback Test Intermittently failing

OK, some additional observations.

  • When I first plug my mini, it draws 0.28-0.3A.
  • When I run the quick test the lime draws 0.42A and stays there even if I close the quick test software. The LEDS will continue to blink only green even after the test. The lime also starts getting quite hot even in IDLE after this point.
  • If I connect the LimeSDR mini without running the test and start using apps like SDRAngel for an extended period of time and then run the test, it will pass just fine.

I’ll run some more checks, but so far it seems that the test itself leaves the Mini SDR in a weird state that makes it overheat. I can’t confirm it. It’s just an observation based on the above.
