||
4 | |||
5 | 4 | laforge | The "LimeSDR":https://myriadrf.org/projects/limesdr/ is a low-cost SDR board featuring the Lime Microsystems LMS7002 RF chip. |
6 | |||
7 | Key characteristics include: |
||
8 | * RF Transceiver: Lime Microsystems LMS7002M MIMO FPRF |
||
9 | * FPGA: Altera Cyclone IV EP4CE40F23 – also compatible with EP4CE30F23 |
||
10 | 6 | ahuemer | * Memory: 256 MBytes DDR2 SDRAM |
11 | 4 | laforge | * USB 3.0 controller: Cypress USB 3.0 CYUSB3014-BZXC |
12 | * Oscillator: Rakon RPT7050A @ 30.72MHz |
||
13 | * Continuous frequency range: 100 kHz – 3.8 GHz |
||
14 | * Bandwidth: 61.44 MHz |
||
15 | * RF connection: 10 U.FL connectors (6 RX, 4 TX) |
||
16 | * Power Output (CW): up to 10 dBm |
||
17 | * Multiplexing: 2×2 MIMO |
||
18 | * Power: micro USB connector or optional external power supply |
||
19 | * Status indicators: programmable LEDs |
||
20 | * Dimensions: 100 mm x 60 mm |

26 | h2. Clock |
||
27 | |||
28 | The on-board clock is a 250ppb VCTCXO. GSM strictly requires 30ppb, but 250ppb _should_ be sufficient for laboratory use. |
||

38 | h2. OsmoTRX on LimeSDR |
||
39 | |||
40 | 16 | pespin | In terms of OsmoTRX support, you will find a relatively complex driver stack consisting of: |
41 | 15 | laforge | * "LimeSuite":https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git containing the actual drivers and utilities for LimeSDR (*version 17.09 or later required*) |
42 | 17 | laforge | ** for LimeSDR-mini, you will need 17.10 or later |
43 | 1 | laforge | * "SoapySDR":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git as middleware that wraps LimeSuite |
44 | * "SoapyUHD":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD.git as plug-in exposing SoapySDR devices to UHD |
||
45 | * UHD as the driver interface below OsmoTRX |
||

62 | h3. Verifying the driver stack |
||
63 | |||
64 | You can ensure that LimeSuite recognizes your device using the *LimeUtil* part of LimeSuite: |
||
65 | |||
66 | <pre> |
||
67 | 12 | laforge | $ LimeUtil --find |
68 | 1 | laforge | * [LimeSDR-USB, media=USB 3.0, module=STREAM, addr=1d50:6108, serial=0009060B00xxyyzz] |
69 | </pre> |
||
70 | |||
71 | You can ensure that SoapySDR and LimeSuite work together as expected using the *SoapySDRUtil* part of SoapySDR: |
||
72 | |||
73 | <pre> |
||
74 | 12 | laforge | $ ./SoapySDRUtil --find |
