Driver and GUI for LMS7002M-based (Lime) SDR platforms
copied from cf-staging / soapysdr-module-lms7Lime Suite is a collection of software supporting several hardware platforms including the LimeSDR, drivers for the LMS7002M transceiver RFIC, and other tools for developing with LMS7-based hardware. Installing the Lime Suite enables many SDR applications such as GQRX to work with supported hardware through the bundled SoapySDR support module.
The liblimesuite package contains the main library that other
packages should develop against. The soapysdr-module-lms7 package
contains the Soapy SDR module that supports Lime devices. The
limesuite package provides the entire software suite, depending
on the previous packages and also providing GUI tools.
For Windows users of liblimesuite with a LimeSDR (not mini!) device,
this package uses libusb to communicate over USB instead of the standard
CyUSB library which is not open source. If you have used your LimeSDR
with another software package, you will have to switch USB drivers to
one compatible with WinUSB/libusb by installing the WinUSB driver with
Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) and selecting your Lime device.
For Linux users of liblimesuite, you will likely want to link the
provided udev rule into your system installation in order for the
hardware to have the correct permissions:
sudo ln -s $CONDA_PREFIX/lib/udev/rules.d/64-limesuite.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload
sudo udevadm trigger
