We don't support the UE on a Pi4. Running a full UE on the Pi4 is quite challenging as the requirements are higher than for the eNB. #822

Hi,

We are trying to run the UE on an RPi but recently came across a post on GitHub which mentions that the UE function can’t be run on the RPi. We have noted that it runs on more powerful systems with larger processing capacity. But we want to be sure of this. There is no documentation that specifies the minimum requirements for the UE running on an SDR. Also, we would like to know what aspects of the UE build prevent it from running on a RPi, given that the eNB can. Our assumption was that the eNB would have a more computationally intensive function related to scheduling etc.

Some clarification on these points will really help.

The srsue function requires more computation as it has to search for the eNb tower and I’m pretty sure it changes its power output in association with signal strength with the tower. Look at the sixfab lte hats to use on the RPi’s they work really well for me

Thanks for the insight on the RPi. Not sure how I missed that post from Andre a couple weeks back... I had indeed hoped to run srsUE on my RPi4B. I'm currently sorting out issues with the BladeRF (as detailed in issue #816), when that gets sorted I'll be attempting to run srsUE on a Jetson TX2 and perhaps a Nano--if I get either to work I'll be sure to reach out, though good to know I should skip the RPi4 for now.

Intel NUCs work really well too

Have you tried it on other SBCs? I'm running srsu on Radxa Rock 5B+ with 8x cores with 2GHz clock but still UE not able to attach. I'll be glad if uou let us know if you've ran it sucessfuly on other ARM SBCs
