Re: Lime mini will not update firmware in Portsdown
Hi Leon
Please unplug your LimeSDR from the USB Hub (or Raspberry Pi) (so that it powers down), reconnect it, and then run the test report and Firmware information again (without trying the upgrade first). Then post the results here.
We may be able to help you....

Hi Leon
We have seen a similar fault on a number of LimeSDR Minis. Just need to confirm that is exactly the problem....
Really keen to get you on to QO-100!
