Dear all, I'd like to use a software defined radio "LimeSDR Mini" on FreeBSD utilizing the "SoapySDR library" with a driver from "Lime Suite", but I encounter errors, supposedly in libusb.
As I didn't find a FreeBSD package for a LimeSDR Mini driver for SoapySDR, I compiled it from source, downloading the latest Lime Suite release from: https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite/releases/tag/v20.01.0 There are several compilation errors on FreeBSD if you compile everything from the Suite, but it's possible to only build and install the SoapySDR module by typing: mkdir builddir && cd builddir cmake ../ make LMS7Support cp SoapyLMS7/libLMS7Support.so /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.7/ The SoapySDRUtil command finds the device: % SoapySDRUtil --find [...] Found device 0 addr = 24607:1027 driver = lime label = LimeSDR Mini [USB 2.0] 1D3AC7FE409032 media = USB 2.0 module = FT601 name = LimeSDR Mini serial = 1D3AC7FE409032 However, trying to initialize the device with the corresponding SoapySDR driver fails. I tracked the error down to the C++ function ConnectionFT601::Open, which is defined in file: LimeSuite-20.01.0/src/ConnectionFTDI/ConnectionFT601.cpp https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite/blob/1c1c202f9a6ae4bb34068b6f3f576f7f8e74c7f1/src/ConnectionFTDI/ConnectionFT601.cpp#L213 if (libusb_reset_device(dev_handle)!=0) return ReportError(-1, "USB reset failed", libusb_strerror(libusb_error(r))); I tried to get help on the myriadrf.org Forum here, where I also posted more detailed error output: https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/limesdr-mini-with-freebsd/6230 I used FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p6. Any help on this would be appreciated. Is there any way to increase verbosity of libusb or figure out why the USB initialization fails?
