The Mosaic5G group uses or recommends the following hardware:
* computers: We made good experiences with the [Gigabyte GB-BRi7-8550](https://www.gigabyte.com/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BRi7-8550-rev-10).
* SDRs Ettus [USRP B210](https://www.ettus.com/product/details/UB210-KIT), [USRP B200-mini](https://www.ettus.com/product/details/USRP-B200mini)
* Duplexer: a duplexer for LTE band 7 can be found at [open-cells](https://open-cells.com/index.php/opencellsband7duplexer/)
* Antenna for band 7, e.g. [from

* Mobile phones: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P, Google Pixel 2. Other tested phones
include Samsung Galaxy 5 & 6. Others might work (also different UE
categories).
* You might need at least 2 SMA cables to connect the SDR and the duplexer.
Other optional hardware:
* Synchronization modules: either GPS (e,g. GPS module in USRP) or 1588v2

# Software requirements
* LL-MEC requires kernel 4.9 as documented in [its wiki](https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/mosaic5g/ll-mec/wikis/home).
* The CN without LL-MEC from snap has no special kernel dependencies. Some issues with kernel 4.15 have been observed and fixed.
* The CN without LL-MEC on snap has no special kernel dependencies. Some issues with kernel 4.15 have been observed and fixed.
* RAN & FlexRAN have no special kernel requirements.
* All projects have additional library dependencies that are installed through installation scripts. See the respective documentation for more information.
# Supported Mosaic5G snap versions
If not announced otherwise, we recommend staying up to date with the respective snap versions of all projects. To update a snap, simpy run the `./build_m5g` script with the respective switch, e.g. to update the core network, simply run `./build_m5g -C`.
SLICENET information: the tested configuration is **TBD**
If not announced otherwise, we recommend staying up to date with the respective snap versions of all projects. To update a snap, simply run the `./build_m5g` script with the respective switch, e.g., to update the core network, simply run `./build_m5g -C`.
