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.


== Base 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


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


$ 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 uhd-host libuhd-dev uhd-soapysdr</source>
* http://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/OsmoTRX


=== 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:


== Osmocom software ==

=== OpenBSC, OsmoBTS & dependencies ===
== Running the transceiver ==


''Tested commit: 66af97ce0760c0c015b2bc5c8c3290345571b122''
Update 2/21/2018
 
The  osmo-trx project page for LimeSDR  [https://osmocom.org/projects/osmotrx/wiki/LimeSDR_Family] now recommends :
<source lang="bash">$ git clone https://github.com/fairwaves/osmo-combo
# osmo-trx -s 4 -b 4
$ cd osmo-combo
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ ./apply_patches.sh static-build
$ sudo make</source>
 
=== OsmoTRX ===
 
''Tested commit: d22657a26d22d265cfeb57636a2fbe9c3e9c0f16''
 
<source lang="bash">$ git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/osmo-trx
$ cd osmo-trx
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install</source>
 
Note:
 
# that the default branch, myriadrf/limesdr, is the one that should be used and not master or any of the others;
# LimeSDR support will eventually be merged upstream, following which it is planned to maintain this via the Osmocom repository and to delete this fork;
 
== Configuration ==
 
 
== Running ==


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