As part of a continuing effort to improve both the accessibility and usability of technical documentation relating to the Myriad-RF project, launched last year as the Myriad-RF WIki Documentation Initiative, we're pleased to announce that the Lime Micro LMS7002M Field-Programmable RF IC Datasheet is now available on the Wiki alongside new documentation relating to the Stream Protocol.

One of the reasons why I find the LimeSDR interesting is that it can transmit high data rates over a wide frequency spectrum. It covers many ham radio bands where we can legally transmit wide signals using high power. This allows us to experiment cutting edge technologies such as digital video transmission over the air.

The latest project to join the Myriad-RF family is concerned with the creation of RF front-end modules, which can be used together with an SDR platform in order to create a custom wireless solution.

When the new Lime SDR arrives at your doorstep, you will find that its immediately usable within a variety of existing SDR applications and software stacks.

My LimeSDR board arrived on April 26, a day before the crowdfunding campaign was launched. I made an agreement to test the board and post my experiences here on the MyriadRF blog. This is the first out of hopefully many posts I will make about the LimeSDR.

We’re pleased to announce that the User Guide for the LimeSDR open-source software defined radio (SDR) platform is now available on the Myriad-RF Wiki. This forms part of the ongoing Myriad-RF Wiki Documentation Initiative, launched in 2015 to increase the accessibility of technical documentation relating to Myriad-RF projects.

Lime Suite is a collection of software supporting several hardware platforms including the LimeSDR, drivers for the LMS7002M transceiver RFIC, and other tools for  developing with LMS7-based hardware. This post will cover the components of Lime Suite, how it supports LimeSDR, how it fits with the SDR application ecosystem,…

Some may have seen via Twitter, various blog posts, at Mobile World Congress back in February, or the recent EE, Lime Micro and Canonical joint announcement, that there is a particularly exciting new SDR platform on the block — the incredibly compact USB 3.0 peripheral, LimeSDR. As an SDR platform…

Alexandru Csete and Josh Blum have been busy putting together updated Ubuntu packages for GNU Radio plus various drivers, along with their dependencies. To summarise: Update to GNU Radio 3.7.9/volk 1.2 Latest gr-osmosdr with Red Pitaya support SoapyRedPitaya added UmTRX 1.0.8 Using UHD PPA The packages can be obtained…

We are excited to announce that three new designs have been published to GitHub for boards that extend the Reference Development Kit and STREAM projects. These together provide an incredibly compact and low cost solution for prototyping wireless applications that are based on an Altera FPGA and Lime Microsystems FPRF.

Documentation is important to any project, but the accessibility of technical documentation is often at the top of engineers’ lists of pet peeves. It’s with this in mind that we’re pleased to announce an initiative which we hope will improve things considerably: a shift to wiki-first documentation for all things…

Open source designs for logic synthesis targeting FPGAs and ASICs are by no means new, with numerous industry and community initiatives that stretch back as far as the late 1990s. However, in recent years — and in particular over the last year or so — efforts appear to have redoubled, with developments that suggest that more widespread industry adoption may be on the horizon.
