No libLMS7Support.so module for Soapy 0.7? (Solved - mostly)

Projects LimeSDR

Hi there.
Just received LimeSDR Mini but cannot make it work in Ubuntu 16.04 with Gnuradio nor gqrx showing varied errors, so I decided to uninstall .debs and rebuild from updated source.

Rebuilt last LimeSuite, LMS7002M-driver and SoapySDR. Soapy is 0.7 but It seems LimeSuite generates 0.6 Soapy module.

SoapySDRUtil --info
    [...]
        Search path: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.7
        No modules found!
        Available factories... No factories found!
    [...]

if I forced copy fresh compiled libLMS7Support.so to Soapy module dir …

Search path: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.7
Module found: /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.7/libLMS7Support.so
Available factories... No factories found!

But is 0.6 all inside

$ SoapySDRUtil --find

[ERROR] SoapySDR::loadModule(/usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.7/libLMS7Support.so)
  lime failed ABI check: Library ABI=0.7, Module ABI=0.6
No devices found!

So, how do I solve version mismatch?

Regards.

Finally was able to get it working in gnuradio and gqrx on Ubuntu 16.04, but only using pybombs.

Updated pybombs installation and used LimeUtil to flash uLime. After that MCU errors went away and errors appears only when using out-of-limit parameters (as it should). So firmware version vs software version might be the problem.

No problem recognizing the board using driver=lime, soapy=0. Almost no problem using pybombs gqrx (sometimes becoming unstable and need to delete default config file) and no problem using pybombs Gnuradio on full-duplex.

But totally unable to set it working out of pybombs, by source compiling nor package installing (Never both at the same time). I’ll keep trying.
