Re: USRP2 FPGA capabilities

GNU Radio
1

All,

We are working on a cognitive radio project, and are contemplating on
using the USRP as our platform. However, we have strict timing
requirements in our MAC design. We understand that the USRP2 has a much
more capable FPGA compared to USRP1.

What we would like to know from the community is:

  1. Does USRP2 allow unrestricted access to the FPGA?
  2. If it does, will it be possible to burn the complete PHY and MAC
    layers
    (or atleast PHY and some parts of MAC) on to the FPGA? I understand that
    this depends on the complexity - ours is most likely a simplified OFDMA.
