I have followed the instructions for "4.1 LimeSDR-USB Driver install for windows. I download the driver. I go into Device Manager and update the driver to the new one. It shows up just fine in device manager.
I run the commands to query the device/drivers and what I get is shown below. Before reading the below section I will tell you what is not working. I can connect to the device within LimeSuite GUI however device info continues to read incorrect values of Gateware:0 and Gateware rev: 0. Running this same command on my Ubuntu machine and these values read correctly. LimeSuite GUI will still not open a configuration file. Reading in the self_test or example file I get the error “Failed to load file: Read(64 bytes) failed”. None of the apps (gqrx
cubicSDR, GNURadip, or Pothos) seem to be able to interface with the the device for what I assume is still a driver issues. Again, these things work on my Linux machine. One more point, as you go through the driver install instructions you see a “connections setting window” under the options menu. The window in the instructions has two parts one showing “LMS7 Control” and the other showing “Steam Board”. My window however shows “Board connections:” and USB 3.0 (LimeSDR-USB) is one of the connections show. There is no second window with “Steam Connections”.
Any help would be appreciated.
