Hi Harald,
Given that the product is as far as I understand at a
very early stage,
as far as I can tell, I would not have too high expectations on
production deployments just yet. This is irrespective of the name of
the product nor of the manufacturer. Especially as it is not a
brand-new "base station product" consisting of an integrated solution
from one vendor who will provide a tested, approved, working product
consisting of hardware and software, but as it is - AFAICT - a SDR
hardware only product where the user has to "build his own base station"
based on several components - one very important of them of course
being the actual hardware board.
It is a SDR hardware, but conceived, as far as I understand, with GSM
usage in mind, considering the integrated GPSDO and so on. As soon as I
put my hands on it I'd like to evaluate if it's worth invest some time
to develop a housing for it and appropriate connections for a very low
power and low cost BTS.
With the USB3
LimeSDR, after a few hours I _always_ get a broken trx,
with lots of failure messages...
I'm sorry to hear this. We're trying to address various problems
related to LimeSDR devices for quite some time, but progress is
unfortunately not as quick as one would hope, particularly as LimeSuite
also evolves and every major version seems to behave quite differently,
at least in the way how OsmoTRX is using the API.
In recent weeks, Joachim has been making very good progress with help
from Lime to resolve some of the most long-standing issues related to
RF compliance of OsmoTRX on LimeSDR (phase noise, burst shape, ...).
There should be a patchset pushed to gerrit soon which will address this
one class of problems. However, this does not adress any USB stability
related problems, which is a separate class of issues. We have to look
at them once as a time
This is great, thanks for the report! I hope to have USB
problems put
aside with the LimeNET Micro, this is one of the reasons of my question.
One thing I'm a bit missing here is: Where are
your comprehensive bug
reports about this in the osmocom issue tracker? Particularly with
problems that manifest themselves only every few hours and hence are
not quick to reproduce, we have to collect those issues and related
log files, backtraces, ... in the issue tracker.
I'll do this in the next couple of days, sorry for sending the email in
advance of the actual bug report.
Thanks a lot!
