[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP1 FPGA configuration with 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1-bit quantization options available for test

2009-02-05 Thread Paul Creekmore
For whoever is interested, I have a branched revision of the USRP1 FPGA code ready that supports 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1-bit quantization. The Verilog code is available for review in my developer's branch of the GNU Radio SVN repository here: http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/branches/developers/pc

Hello! I can update my last entry a little bit: I tested the last 4 hours this "compute_regs" function. The values written to the FPGA are: (R & ~0x3) | 1=340041 (control & ~0x3) | 0=4fc924 These two values are constant, so the return value of "m_uRx- >read_io(1)" should not influence the se

Hi Johnathan,   Thank you so much for your reply. I would like to make sure I don't misunderstand what you mentioned. Do you mean that I can choose  a decimation factor less than 320 (64M/200k) (without considering the 6dB droop at the passband edges at this moment)? Then, I can tune the decimat
