Looks like this is fixed in d218d3e — but that is not in the Debian Bookworm package version.

[9600]

Looks like this is fixed in d218d3e — but that is not in the Debian Bookworm package version.

Right, so the version they distribute will be fairly old.

Out of curiosity which version of XTRX hardware do you have? This old driver for the Fairwaves XTRX is not really maintained and all development is going into the LimeSDR XTRX and Lime Suite NG driver stack. If you have a Fairwaves XTRX Rev. 5 it could be flashed with the FPGA gateware used with LimeSDR XTRX, hence making it compatible with Lime Suite NG.

[geerlingguy]

@9600 - I'm actually testing a CaribouLite, and as part of its installation, it seems like it is installing xtrx? Not even sure why. See: cariboulabs/cariboulite#176

[9600]

@geerlingguy Not sure either, doesn't seem to make sense. BTW, just sent you an e-mail.
