||
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 |

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. |
||
29 | |||

38 | h2. OsmoTRX on LimeSDR |
||
39 | |||
40 | In terms of OsmoTRX support, you will a relatively complex driver stack consisting of: |
||
41 | 2 | laforge | * "LimeSuite":https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git containing the actual drivers and utilities for LimeSDR |
42 | 1 | laforge | * "SoapySDR":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git as middleware that wraps LimeSuite |
43 | * "SoapyUHD":https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD.git as plug-in exposing SoapySDR devices to UHD |
||
44 | * UHD as the driver interface below OsmoTRX |
||

57 | 1 | laforge | You will need to observe the following dependencies when building the above: |
58 | # SoapyUHD depends on SoapySDR |
||
59 | # LimeSuite depends on SoapySDR. |
||
60 | |||
61 | h3. Verifying the driver stack |
||
62 | |||
63 | You can ensure that LimeSuite recognizes your device using the *LimeUtil* part of LimeSuite: |
||
64 | |||
65 | <pre> |
||
66 | $ LimeUtil --find 109/0/0 |
||
67 | * [LimeSDR-USB, media=USB 3.0, module=STREAM, addr=1d50:6108, serial=0009060B00xxyyzz] |
||
68 | </pre> |
||
69 | |||
70 | You can ensure that SoapySDR and LimeSuite work together as expected using the *SoapySDRUtil* part of SoapySDR: |
||
71 | |||
72 | <pre> |
||
73 | $ ./SoapySDRUtil --find 101/0/0 |
