Can confirm the procedure works when skipping step 2.3. I was able to update the gateware and everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks @tszn for the instructions and @ricardas for updating the drivers!

I recently finished the solder repair, that seems to fix my connection issue perfectly. I now get the xtrx to show consistently in lspci and limedevice, however I am running into some roadblocks while trying to update the hardware. I’m still on 1.11, when I try to run the update I get returned “lscannot access ‘/dev/limepcie0/trx*’ : no such file or directory” followed by the dma addressing warning, and “multiple targets found, specify device target
EEPROM fpga/flash”
I feel like I’m missing a step somewhere after getting back to this and hopping between a few threads
You need to update the software, the trx* not found has been fixed in limepcie: Allow to enumerate devices without DMA channels · myriadrf/LimeSuiteNG@79831e7 · GitHub
For update from 1.11 gateware use target FPGA/FLASH
limeFLASH --target "FPGA/FLASH" combined_flash_programming_file.bin
I did a clean install last night, but I used the main channel. Should I still be using the development channel for this? Otherwise I’ll try a full fresh install on a fresh os today
Yes, you should use "develop’ branch.
