OAI and LimeSDR-Mini

dast · 25 July 2018 16:32

I’m trying to use LimeSDR-Mini with OAI. I use config file on LimeSDR but use the .ini file in this link : https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/attachment/40140/0/LimeSDRMini.ini
when i launch my command : “sudo -E ./cmake_targets/lte_build_oai/build/lte-softmodem -O ./targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf
–rf-config-file ./targets/ARCH/LMSSDR/LimeSDRMini.ini
-d” I have the error like on the image

oai-erreur

when i use default .ini configuration by launching my command : “sudo -E ./cmake_targets/lte_build_oai/build/lte-softmodem -O ./targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-LTE-EPC/CONF/enb.band7.tm1.25PRB.lmssdr.conf
–rf-config-file ./targets/ARCH/LMSSDR/LimeSDR_above_1p8GHz_1v4.ini
-d” I have the error like on the image

OAI-erreur

What would be the error ! any help please !?

I don’t have anything to offer at this point, but I am working on the same issue as well.

You may want to post your console output as text here, or link the screenshot somewhere else, because it seems really low resolution and hard to read.

In your first screenshot, it seems to be complaining about a missing file. Have you verified that you have the path correct for that?

In your second screenshot, you seem to be getting the same error as I do, with TuneVCO complaining about being unable to lock.

I’ll send you the version txt of my error! I advise you to run ini file produced by this link : https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/attachment/40140/0/LimeSDRMini.ini or on this https://github.com/eti1/minilime for the first link we have alway error that he can’t load .ini file even we use the corret path for the second we are testing now and i’ll report it if it run or not.

Make sure that LimeQuickTest passes on board. If it success take LimeSuiteGUI and load default ini file.
The go to Modules->FPGA controls load the wfm file(can select custom and apply 4G waveform).
Then take FFT Viwer and start data reading. Observe TX and Rx speed. If this is fine then need to verify the configuration files given for lte-softmodem

LimeSDR Mini does not have DDR memory and thus is not supported by the waveform player in LimeSuiteGUI.

dast · 7 August 2018 13:41

when we use the ini config file on it https://github.com/eti1/minilime, it run! isn’t it lemax ?

Hello, Dast Did you were able to detect 4G network on a phone with your .ini (for me not)

dast · 5 October 2018 11:55

Hey Bastien, my computer is not more powerfull and i have errror "ULLL " actually, i retest it next week!

dast · 6 October 2018 17:29

send your output ?

bastienbaranoff · 7 October 2018 20:19

bastienbaranoff · 7 October 2018 20:20

with this .ini https://github.com/myriadrf/trx-lms7002m

dast · 8 October 2018 14:00

i think your outup is all ok! may be you use the same band with the real operator! verify with the samsung phone on monitoring all band used by operator neighbor you

Which ini ? I made a stab with the one in config-limeSDR/LimeSDR_Mini_v06.ini and got a few blips on the radar:

Yes it is Limesdr_Mini_v0.6… I was able to see my 4g network by selecting band7 in samsung s4 mini service mode now i got these since I don’t have USIM card

This is the best I can get - using LimeSuite from last 12/2017 and a LimeSDR (non-mini) - up and running:

Version information:
Library version: v17.12.0-gfe53178a
Build timestamp: 2018-10-11
Interface version: v2017.12.0
Binary interface: 17.12-1

{ git checkout fe53178a3c74ce983ca8314c582c0547f723ec20 } which does not support the Mini

The SGS4 is having issues with aging certificates anymore :\ But as shows above when positioned just right it can download files like anything, right around 2Mbps.

A successful ue attach:

I have an issue getting a Samsung S4Mini to attach to the LimeSDR / OAI which is solved by this one weird trick - start up OpenLTE on band 20, the phone sees THAT ok and try to connect, then switch that off and startup OAI and boom it connects. Without that, the sgs4 finds nothing.

So doing a scan with OpenLTE utility LTE_fdd_dl_scan for frequencies around my earfcn gets this voluminous report - eNodeB is the LimeSDR and using the LMSMini for the scanner:

is this report is coming to the limesdr or the limesdrmini ?

cswiger · 18 October 2018 17:50

LimeSDR is radio head end of an OpenAirInterface instance with a cell phone attached and getting data.

LimeSDR-Mini is in a notebook running OpenLTE LTE_fdd_dl_scan and scanning the earfcn which finds the signal and prints a report.
