Opening the FPGA project

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

As per the advice given, I have started to try change the FPGA code to
bypass the DDC for the USRP2.

I am first trying to edit using the 30day trial for ISE v12 in Windows.

I have 2 questions,

  1. I fail to locate the project file from the git.

  2. I was wondering if the AeMB processor directly feeds off the output
    of
    the DDC module (i_out and q_out) or it only manages the flow of data?

thanks in advance

The project file is generated by a tcl script

On windows, you will need make (probably gnu make), and the xilinx
xtclsh (xilinx tcl shell) in your path. I would use cygwin.

The microblaze manages the flow of data by acting as a packet router. In
firmware/microblaze/lib/ see dbsm.*
