Notes on running the Osmocom GSM stack with LimeSDR hardware.

1 Hardware support

For details of Osmocom support for LimeSDR and dependencies such as Lime Suite and SoapyUHD that must be installed, see:

http://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/LimeSDR

For information on the OsmoTRX GSM transceiver:

2 Network-on-the-box (NITB)

For details of how to configure the OpenBSC software to run in network-in-the-box mode, see:

https://osmocom.org/projects/osmonitb/wiki/OsmoNITB OsmoNITB

3 Running the transceiver

Starting the tranceiver module needs the -e (edge) options for LimeSDR to work:

# osmo-trx -e -a 'driver=lime,device=0'

-At the present time Lime Suite should be built from source, instead of using packages. See the [[Lime Suite|wiki page]] for details.

-# LimeSDR support will eventually be merged upstream, following which it is planned to maintain this via the Osmocom repository and to delete this fork;
