||
4 | |||
5 | The LimeSDR is a low-cost SDR board featuring the Lime Microsystems LMS7002 RF chip. |

11 | h2. Clock |
||
12 | |||
13 | The on-board clock is a 250ppb VCTCXO. GSM strictly requires 30ppb, but 250ppb _should_ be sufficient for laboratory use. |
||

23 | h2. OsmoTRX on LimeSDR |
||
24 | |||
25 | In terms of OsmoTRX support, you will a relatively complex driver stack consisting of: |
||
26 | 2 | laforge | * "LimeSuite":https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git containing the actual drivers and utilities for LimeSDR |
27 | 1 | laforge | * "SoapySDR":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git as middleware that wraps LimeSuite |
28 | * "SoapyUHD":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD.git as plug-in exposing SoapySDR devices to UHD |
||
29 | * UHD as the driver interface below OsmoTRX |
||
30 | |||
31 | You will need to observe the following dependencies when building the above: |
||
32 | # SoapyUHD depends on SoapySDR |
||
33 | # LimeSuite depends on SoapySDR. |
||
34 | |||
35 | h3. Verifying the driver stack |
||
36 | |||
37 | You can ensure that LimeSuite recognizes your device using the *LimeUtil* part of LimeSuite: |
||
38 | |||
39 | <pre> |
||
40 | $ LimeUtil --find 109/0/0 |
||
41 | * [LimeSDR-USB, media=USB 3.0, module=STREAM, addr=1d50:6108, serial=0009060B00xxyyzz] |
||
42 | </pre> |
||
43 | |||
44 | You can ensure that SoapySDR and LimeSuite work together as expected using the *SoapySDRUtil* part of SoapySDR: |
||
45 | |||
46 | <pre> |
||
47 | $ ./SoapySDRUtil --find 101/0/0 |
