The fastest thing you can do is make a dedicated partition and read and write it directly. This is very simple (open(), read(), write(), seek(), etc). I typically dedicate the first 1024 blocks to storing info about the files. I use one block per file and the first block stores info about th

Has there been much discussion on building a modulator into the FGPA? That would obviously reduce down the bandwidth required for transmission of some very wideband signals. Brian ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists

Hi everybody, just a quick question: has anybody managed so far to provide the usrp with the 8 Complex Msps needed to transmit an 8 MHz wide band? My problem is that such a bandwidth yields a 32MiBps throughput and, even if the USB2 bus and the CPU speed of my machine are all right with this, it
