xtrx v5 support

Open howudodat opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

I am looking for xtrx v5 support. It appears the library compile instructions are for the v4. It appears that only limesdr has drivers for v5.

git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuiteNG.git
cd LimeSuiteNG
./install_dependencies.sh
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j5
make install
ldconfig

This allows the device to be discoverable:

limeDevice 
Found 1 device(s) :
0: LimeSDR XTRX, media=PCIe, addr=/dev/limepcie0, serial=000000008f6ac88e

however building with sdrangel instructions:

cd /opt/build
git clone https://github.com/f4exb/images.git xtrx-images
cd xtrx-images
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd sources
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/install/xtrx-images -DENABLE_SOAPY=NO ..
make -j $(nproc)
make install

ends up with test_xtrx not being able to see the device

libxtrx/test_xtrx 
Usage: DMATX and/or DMARX must be enabled (or TX REPEAT is set)!
22:04:42.992287 WARN:   [PCIE] XTRX PCIe driver isn't loaded

I'm concerned though that I am creating a driver conflict. Any thoughts on building for a v5 card?
