Hi Lee, We are also looking into similar things, though we don't have the power constraints which will be difficult to meet. We are currently looking at a micro-atx solution with an amd geod nx processor since this one is compatible with the amd athlon mobile. this should make it easy to have a ru

Thanks for the reply, Clark. Basically, the project we're working on involves putting the USRP on a small UAV ("A" as in "aerial" not "autonomous"). So, weight and power consumption are key. The hydraxc looks very cool. However, I think we can go larger. And, for the first cut at a solution, we

Thanks very much for the reply, Pete. I believe I have been abusing the terminology here. According to Wikipedia: " An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. An embedded system has specific requirements and performs pre-

Lee, I am very much interested in the same. Specifically, I'd like to get it on embedded Linux running off a virtex-4 FPGA. This module from hydraxc(http://www.hydraxc.com/) has a USB2.0 port and is the size of a stick of gum. Seems like one should be able to connect this to a USRP with a 100
