Correct. I use Altium for my contract works, now I must use Allegro at current job, however for that purpose I suppose I would need to learn KiCad or something similar. > It would be nice to have something that can be plugged on > http://zedboard.org/product/microzed, doesn't cost that much and provides > way better perf than the usual RTL/SDR. > We have many things to choose from: MicroZed with Z7010 costs 199USD and 289USD for Z7020 version: http://zedboard.org/product/microzed Paralella has Z7010 plus 16 core microprocessor and costs 99USD only. Too bad we need to wait to order it. http://www.adapteva.com/parallella-board/ I am mostly familiar with Altera, so its SoCKIT costs 299USD, but it has a huuuge FPGA (115k LEs) and in addition to above ones, it has VGA out and audio out: http://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/ArrowSoCKitEvaluationBoard There's also DE1-SoC, which has a slightly smaller 85k LEs FPGA: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=167&No=836&PartNo=1 What do you have in mind in term of specs, number of rx/tx, ...? Bandwidth, MSPS, no of RX/TX and other parameters. Well, it's basically choosing a transceiver or a pair of ADC and DAC. BR Tomas Daujotas
