ybts.conf doesn't show transceiver-bladerf:

Path: string: Path to the transceiver relative to where the MBTS is started.
; Should be one of: ./transceiver-rad1 ./transceiver-usrp1 ./transceiver-uhd
; Defaults to ./transceiver.
;Path=./transceiver

but config.log produced by Yatebts's ./configure seems ok:

checking for bladeRF support using pkg-config

I don't know how to solve this issue

[cagriaksu]

Just select the correct transceiver from the NIB web panel. If the problem persists, please feed more info here.

[andrew77]

Solved!
Thanks

Hello,

I set up the transceiver in the nib and also tried manually in the ybts.conf , when I probe bladerf or info everything seems properly working (FPGA loaded and all).
