Hi guys, I’m completely new to Lime and RF so please bear with any especially boneheaded questions. I am having issues getting the Lime Suite tests to pass and to update firmware. I have run the tests first thing in the morning so the unit is cool and it is plugged directly into a USB 3.0 port with no antennas connected. The test results are below. I initially thought the issue was FW related so I tried to update that with LimeUtil and got the error below. Is there something I am missing regarding setup? If it’s useful, when the SDR is plugged in and working the green light stays on and a red light flashes. I can read signals ok. ```auto ➜ ~ LimeUtil --update Connected to [LimeSDR Mini [USB 3.0] 1DA160F0A4F7E8] --2024-08-01 08:33:49-- https://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/22.09/LimeSDR-Mini_HW_2.0_r2.2.bit Resolving downloads.myriadrf.org (downloads.myriadrf.org)... 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::eed:8001, 165.227.233.124 Connecting to downloads.myriadrf.org (downloads.myriadrf.org)|2a03:b0c0:1:d0::eed:8001|:443... failed: Connection refused.

> [@richard.c](#): > > `LimeSuite/images/22.09` Your LimeSuite version is 22.09, which did not have support for LimeSDR Mini v2. It does discover the device and uses it as a v1, so that’s why it’s not working properly. Please update LimeSuite version, or compile from source. ---

That seems to have resolved. Just in case anybody else comes across this. I had to rebuild from the latest release in Github rather from the main branch. Thanks, @ricardas. ```auto ➜ udev-rules LimeUtil --update Connected to [LimeSDR Mini [USB 3.0] 1DA160F0A4F7E8] --2024-08-01 12:09:50-- https://downloads.myriadrf.org/project/limesuite/23.11/LimeSDR-Mini_HW_2.0_r2.2.bit Resolving downloads.myriadrf.org (downloads.myriadrf.org)... 2a03:b0c0:1:d0::eed:8001, 165.227.233.124 Connecting to downloads.myriadrf.org (downloads.myriadrf.org)|2a03:b0c0:1:d0::eed:8001|:443... failed: Connection refused.
