  Binary interface:     18.04-1

Supported connections:
   * FT601
   * FX3
   * PCIEXillybus

osmo-trx fails to initialize a LimeSDR mini, but it works fine when using the bigger brother LimeSDR:

Shutting down transceiver...
libusb: warning [libusb_exit] application left some devices open

Code being run can be found in https://git.osmocom.org/osmo-trx/log/?h=laforge/lime, but basically accounts for this code:

int LMSDevice::open(const std::string &args, int ref, bool swap_channels)
{
	//lms_info_str_t dev_str;
	lms_info_str_t* info_list;
	uint16_t dac_val;
	unsigned int i, n;
	int rc;

	LOG(INFO) << "Opening LMS device..";

	LMS_RegisterLogHandler(&lms_log_callback);

        if ((n = LMS_GetDeviceList(NULL)) < 0)
            LOG(ERROR) << "LMS_GetDeviceList(NULL) failed";
        LOG(DEBUG) << "Devices found: " << n;
        if (n < 1)
            return -1;

        info_list = new lms_info_str_t[n];

        if (LMS_GetDeviceList(info_list) < 0)                //Populate device list
            LOG(ERROR) << "LMS_GetDeviceList(info_list) failed";

        for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                     //print device list
           LOG(DEBUG) << "Device [" << i << "]: " << info_list[i];

	rc = LMS_Open(&m_lms_dev, info_list[0], NULL);
	if (rc != 0) {
		LOG(ERROR) << "LMS_GetDeviceList() failed)";
		delete [] info_list;
		return -1;
	}

	delete [] info_list;

	LOG(INFO) << "Init LMS device";
	if (LMS_Init(m_lms_dev) != 0) {
		LOG(ERROR) << "LMS_Init() failed";
		return -1;
	}

What version of LimeSDR-Mini board you are using? What GW version is installed?
And I would not use USB2. USB3 is highly desired.

In my board I see printed: "LimeSDR Mini v1.0"

When I connect to it with LimeSuiteGUI, I get:
"INFO: Connected Control port: LimeSDR-Mini FW:5 HW:0 Protocol:1 GW:1.18 Ref Clk: 40.00 MHz"

USB 2 vs 3 should not matter at this time.

I confirm the issue does NOT appear (it can be started) with a LimeSDR Mini v1.1, with following firmware information:
INFO: Connected Control port: LimeSDR-Mini FW:5 HW:0 Protocol:1 GW:1.24 Ref Clk: 40.00 MHz

The pre-production v1.0 board will be running quite old gateware that could only be updated via JTAG cable. Whether it's capable of being updated to a current gateware I'm not sure, but @ztamosevicius would be able to advise.

Hello @pespin , @9600 , @ztamosevicius .
I successfully reprogrammed the LimeSDR Mini using a 9 Euro clone of the Altera usb programmer:

img_20180412_095826

You can find some posts with details and screenshots starting from this one in the forum: https://discourse.myriadrf.org/t/problems-with-limesdr-mini/2394/118

There you will read several messages exchanged with @ztamosevicius on this topic and there is documentation on the JTAG cables at this wiki page: https://wiki.myriadrf.org/LimeSDR-Mini_JTAG_cable_adapter#LimeSDR-Mini_JTAG_cable_adapter

I used the Quartus sw to program the LimeSDR Mini board but I had to change the device driver of the usb programmer. The original one, installed with Quartus, does not work with the clone. So I used another one mentioned here: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19233 at post number 5, pointing here: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1920&d=1262065446 (you need to register/login to that forum to get access to the download).

This is just a summary, please read all those posts and the wiki page before starting this process since there are lots of details involved.

LimeSDR-Mini v1.0 is not supported. Pre-production boards are v1.1, just gateware version is older than 24.

This seems to be answered. It was a problem with old preproduction board.
