Hi Seyed,

the E320 is probably not the device you want: While you attach B210 and X310 to 
a powerful
PC, which would then run OAI on the samples gotten from the USRP, the real 
strength of the
E320 is being an embedded system, especially for people who want to develop 
FPGA logic and
embedded software to run on the Zynq *inside* the E320. As far as I can tell, 
OAI is far
far *far* too CPU-hungry to run it on the 800 MHz dual-core ARM inside the E320.

You can indeed also use the SFP+ to stream samples to a PC, but then just be 
buying a
pretty expensive to the B210 with no added benefits.


Best regards,

Marcus
