[Tech] LimeSDR on ARM64 Windows (almost)

I recently got a LimeSDR Mini v2.0, a software-defined radio receiver-transmitter that's open-source, open-hardware, and generally awesome. (OK, that last bit is an opinion--I did back the CrowdSupply project, so I definitely thought it was Neat.)

Since ARM64 Windows is, shall we say, an intrinsic part of my day job, I naturally tried using the LimeSDR on the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s I use. It didn't work.

So, what's a software developer to do when an open-source project doesn't work?

Make it work and contribute back the changes, of course!
