Hi
Here are the steps I used to get a working LimeSDR under GNURadio
3.8 installed from PPA (Ubuntu 18.04). Since hardware SDR
tools are rapidly evolving this procedure may be outdated soon!)
Lime SDR needs
- Lime Suite which can be obtained from PPA
- gr-limesdr which is not available in PPA (as of January 31th
2020)
The Limesuite has been recently updated in ppa, see installing instruction here: http://wiki.myriadrf.org/Lime_Suite
- sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install limesuite liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev limesuite-images
- sudo apt-get install soapysdr-tools soapysdr-module-lms7
Use LimeQuickTest to see if your stick is recognized.
The gr-limesdr has been recently modified (under several GitHub
repository). The official MyriadRF GitHub now has a working
gr-limeSDR that must be installed from source (I didn't find any
working debian package):
- git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/gr-limesdr.git
- cd gr-limesdr/
- git checkout gr-3.8
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ../
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo ldconfig
This has been tested on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install. My LimeSDR
Mini was working under GNURadio at the first try, without any
other configuration.
