Building OsmoTRX for LimeSDR from source (using Ubuntu 16.04)¶

Binary Packages¶

Osmocom provides binary packages for several flavors of Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux on a variety of architectures (i586, x86_64, armhf, armv7l). Unless you are a software developer interested in developing on Osmocom, it is recommended you use those packages instead of building from source.

For more details see Binary_Packages

Install LimeSuite, UHD and SoapyUHD¶

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
sudo apt-get update

#install core library and build dependencies
sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake libsqlite3-dev 

#install hardware support dependencies
sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev gnuplot

#install graphics dependencies
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev

Install LimeSuite¶

git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git
cd LimeSuite
mkdir builddir && cd builddir
cmake ../
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

cd LimeSuite/udev-rules
sudo sh ./install.sh

Type “LimeSuiteGUI” on terminal to check GUI is running

Install UHD¶

(with all dependencies)

git clone https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd
cd uhd

git tag -l
...
release_003_009_004
release_003_009_005
release_003_010_000_000
# Example: For UHD 3.10.000.000: 
  git checkout release_003_010_000_000 (get the latest if fine)

cd host
mkdir build
cd build 
cmake ../
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

try run command to find LimeSDR :

uhd_find_devices

Install SoapySDR and SoapyUHD¶

git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git
cd SoapySDR
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD
cd SoapyUHD
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Now build osmo-trx¶

mkdir osmo
cd osmo
git clone https://github.com/osmocom/libsomocore
cd libsomocore
autoreconf -fi
./configure
make -j5
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

mkdir osmo
cd osmo
git clone https://github.com/osmocom/osmo-trx
cd osmo-trx
autoreconf -fi
./configure
make -j5
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

run on terminal: (test and see its connect with SoapyUHD and UHD)

osmo-trx-uhd -C ~/limesdr.cfg
