SDR Development Kit
The iVeia SDR Development Kit provides a platform on which Software Defined Radio (SDR), Unattended Sensors, Direction Finding, and Unmanned Platforms may be developed. Our processing modules are ideal for SDR applications since both the intermediate frequency and baseband processing occur on the same chip using the combined processing elements of an FPGA and a GPP/DSP processor.
The Development Kit contains a processing module a GigaFlex ADC/DAC I/O Module. GigaFlex I/O modules connects high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters to the processing module so that intermediate radio or other wide bandwidth analog signals may be processed by the module.
Velocity-Embedded Hybrid Framework is integrated in each development system. iVeia’s Velocity-EHF™ development suite, libraries, and IP, simplify development of hybrid software and FPGA applications. The Velocity-EHF includes a simplified FPGA framework and software libraries for managing interfaces between the FPGA and the processor. iVeia’s Zero-copy Application Ports (ZAP) provide low-latency high-speed transfer of both in-band and out-of-band data between the user FPGA application and the software application. An Open Cores Protocol (OCP) master interface in the FPGA allows the user to implement custom peripherals or utilize iVeia’s (or other freely available) OCP cores and associated libraries. iVeia provides a memory-mapped OCP register bank and memory interfaces to simplify the user FPGA design. For users unfamiliar with FPGA design, iVeia provides turn-key FPGA designs that abstract the FPGA from the software application.
