We will answer no whine before its time ;-) > Would this conversion of the dsp core of the SDR1000 further imply that > PowerSDR will not use the C version of dttsp in future versions? Is there > a schedule for when this might occur? Pay attention, please. There is no planned conversion of the DSP core. And we have nothing to say about PowerSDR. As far as new developements go, it is EOL. What is being developed is a *new* software facility, the radio kernel, which implements the "virtual radio," namely, the interface between the rest of the world, and the DSP and hardware modules. The DSP and hardware modules will continue to be independent processes, as before, and in their current language implementations. The new kernel will likely be in erlang. Full implementations of erlang/OTP are already available for all platforms. The kernel will run unchanged immediately on all platforms. UIs can be written in any language. Access to the kernel is systematically provided either at the library level (for many languages) or through standard system I/O facilities, through the erlang "ports" feature. As far as schedule is concerned, it will be released as it is finished. If you want more of a commitment than that, then some investment on your part (either monetary or sweat-equity) will be required. I for one would love to see your fund of inventiveness expended on helping with the project, rather than expatiating on reasons why you shouldn't get involved, or why the developers have screwed up and disappointed your expectations so far. The gross difficulties you envision don't seem to have been obstacles for others who, if I may say, have less immediate experience and wisdom in the field than you do. > That is, should someone contemplating writing DSP code for integration with > PowerSDR struggle with the existing C dttsp and the C# PowerSDR wrapper > (since they are quite intertwined)... They are *not* quite intertwined, as is perfectly obvious to anybody who's actually worked with the code, which is why I claim your estimate of the situation is less than fully-informed. This situation hasn't changed in over a year. Charges of instability are somewhat misplaced, I believe. 73 Frank AB2KT _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
