Welcome to Lime Suite

Lime 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.

Supported hardware

Building LimeSuite

Install dependencies

The dependencies required change based on how much of the suite will be used. LimeSuite will automatically try and build all components that it can satisfy the dependencies for. The following table is a guide to the the requirements for various components.

Component Dependencies Notes
Core library sqlite3 Has embedded copy for windows
LMS7 GUI wx widgets & OpenGL Has embedded GL for windows
LimeSDR libusb 1.0/CyAPI Use CyAPI for windows
NovenaRF7 i2c and spi dev Linux only device
SoapyLMS7 SoapySDR SDR app ecosystem support

Installing dependencies on Ubuntu

#packages for soapysdr available at myriadrf PPA
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
sudo apt-get update

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

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

#install graphics dependencies
