1. 1.25 Ms/s would be nice but lower is ok. We are trying to sound some channels as a test so bandwidth is not a big deal.
2. If gnuradio can run on the arm cpu then thats great! We already have python files (made by gr-companion) so all we would need to do is make a custom N310 filesystem that has gnuradio on it? But why would the ARM cpu be too weak to stream via UHD yet still be good enough to run gnuradio enabled python files? I'm not a computer scientist but python is a lot slower than a low level c++ api right? 3. Yea my University does not have a Vivado license. I'm still trying to convince the engineering department to get a campus wide one.
