Lime Suite

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.

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
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev

Installing dependencies on Windows

Users building LimeSuite on windows will need a recent visual studio compiler, preferable 2015. Other dependencies can be obtained from the following download links:

• CMake - https://cmake.org/download/
• wxWidgets - https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
• CyUSB - http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-usb-fx3-software-development-kit
  • It may be easier to download "cy_ssusbsuite_*.zip" rather than the full SDK

Build with cmake (unix)

The following commands will clone the LimeSuite repository, configure the project using CMake, build the project, and install it. The output of the cmake command will show enabled and disabled components. Pay careful attention to this before building with make.

git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git
cd LimeSuite
mkdir builddir && cd builddir
cmake ../
make -j4
sudo make install

Build with cmake (windows)
