Hi Gillian,

So, I see you've ported umtrx_lms.py to the board you're using? If you
want to share your port with the community, I'm happy to merge your
changes to our git. I think we could even create a separate git repo
for umtrx_lms.py in this case.

Regarding your question. It might help if you post here output from
umtrx_lms.py and umtrx_ctrl.py at the maximum verbosity (say, 10). The
value is set at the top of the files for now. In general, I think you
should check that you've enabled proper blocks in LMS and enabled SPI
clocks for them. If this doesn't work - check with the manufacturer of
your board. I have no idea which board do you use, but the
manufacturer may have intentionally or unintentionally break tuning
abilities of the chip,
