[Discuss-gnuradio] Greeting and a question

Hi everyone,
I am a newcomer on this list and would like to first introduce myself.

I am a HW design engineer with over 20 years of experience in designing various electronic and systems including a working base station based on SW radio in 1999 with a team of engineers at Ericsson Radio Access in Sweden, a system that managed to support multiple mobiles systems including NMT, GSM, AMPS, DAMPS and DECT using a number of FPGAs and DSPs. My specialty is FPGA design and I would like to move some of the GNU radio blocks into an FPGA to make it possible to run the SW part on a low end processor such as ARM9 or similar.

After many years, I came back to into the field of working on a RBS design and found the wonderful project called Gnu Radio :)


Now, my questions, I wonder if anyone here has ever looked into using some old FPGA boards such Avnemt Memec Virtex-II pro board with P160 analog interface board together with Gnu Radio? The reason I am asking this is that I have a few of these boards from previous project and I believe they could be great HW for a quick start of the GR design with minimum amount of investment.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
