Documentation - Githubissues

alphafox02 commented 3 years ago

No issue, more of just a request for info. This sounds great and I’d love to try it this week with a LimeSDR mini. I’m not super familiar with go. Would you have any docs or recommendations for setup? I’ve looked over some of the files and it seems to mention prerequisites.

Hey @alphafox02 , yeah I forgot to add the docs to the readme.

Well you only need the latest golang version and limesuite installed. Then you can run:

go install github.com/racerxdl/lms_tcp/cmd

which should put the binary at $GOROOT/bin

I will setup some documentation and CI to auto-build / release binaries as well ^^

In the usage, is basically the same as rtl_tcp with a few new options:
-lpf [Hz] - sets the analog frontend Low Pass Filter
-ov [N] - sets the oversampling factor. The value of 0 is "max as possible" for the specified sample rate. This is done in FPGA side (so no CPU usage penalty)
-antennaName [NAME] - the antenna to use. Defaults to LNAL

Awesome, greatly appreciated. Would you happen to know if you can run this without a desktop? I’ve never actually tried to run the LimeSDR just from the command line and wasn’t sure if linesuite needed a full desktop installed or that’d just be needed for the GUI portion.

racerxdl commented 3 years ago

Yes, that application is command line only. liblimesuite doesn't need a GUI (you only need libLimeSuite)

Can’t wait to try. I’ll close this out and look forward to any enhancements you add.
