This page details how to build an Osmocom GSM Network-in-the-Box (NITB) configuration that supports [[LimeSDR]].  
Notes on running the Osmocom GSM stack with  [[LimeSDR]] hardware.


== Dependencies ==
== Hardware support ==


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


Packaged dependencies can be installed with:
* http://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/LimeSDR


<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:myriadrf/drivers</syntaxhighlight>


$ sudo apt-get update
For information on the OsmoTRX GSM transceiver:


$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake python-mako libsqlite3-dev libboost-all-dev libmnl-dev libssl-dev libpcap-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libsoapysdr-dev autoconf libtool libpcsclite-dev libortp-dev libdbi-dev libdbd-sqlite3

=== Lime Suite ===
== Network-on-the-box (NITB) ==


At the present time Lime Suite should be built from source, instead of using packages. See the [[Lime Suite|wiki page]] for details.
For details of how to configure the OpenBSC software to run in network-in-the-box mode, see:


=== UHD ===
* https://osmocom.org/projects/osmonitb/wiki/OsmoNITB OsmoNITB


At the present time UHD should be built from source, instead of using packages.
== Running the transceiver ==


$ git clone https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd
Update 2/21/2018
$ cd uhd/host
The  osmo-trx project page for LimeSDR  [https://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/LimeSDR_Family] now recommends :
$ git checkout maint
# osmo-trx -s 4 -b 4
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig
 
=== SoapyUHD ===
 
$ git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyUHD
$ cd SoapyUHD
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig
 
== Osmocom software ==
 
=== OpenBSC, OsmoBTS and dependencies ===
 
''Tested commit (66af97ce0760c0c015b2bc5c8c3290345571b122)''.
 
$ git clone https://github.com/fairwaves/osmo-combo
$ cd osmo-combo
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ ./apply_patches.sh static-build
$ sudo make
 
=== OsmoTRX ===
 
''Tested commit (d22657a26d22d265cfeb57636a2fbe9c3e9c0f16)''.
 
$ git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/osmo-trx
$ cd osmo-trx
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
 
== Configuration ==
 
 
== Running ==


Although the -e (edge) option for LimeSDR still appears to work:
# osmo-trx -e -a 'driver=lime,device=0'
