Dear Folks: First of all, I have to thank Intel for selling us one Stratix 10AX Direct RF board. I got no answers from the other company. Those are mainly for the defense application. The chip has two tiles, each tile has 4 ports. For 64Gsps, only port 0 is available. That means only 2 channels of 64Gsps, not 8 channels. Intel doesn't address this clearly on the webpage. For 64Gsps mode, 10 bits resolution. It can process 8Gsps all 8 ports with digital down converter on the chip. Using this mode, users can have 8GHz bandwidth, 8 channels and 8 bits complex resolution. All 8 ports have 32GHz analog bandwidth. For the tool flow, intel provides a couple of examples, from there, users can modify it and have their own design. intel uses a "dsp builder" which is similar to Xilinx's "system generator", both are under Matlab/simulink. intel is more reliant on Matlab. They use Matlab as a bridge to communicate with the FPGA boards. "DSP builder" is an open source package, you can have it from intel's web. There are almost everything in it, PFB, FFT, math, logic ... The headache for me is the interface, mainly 1G and 100/200G Ethernet. I don't know how to integrate it with dsp builder. Great to hear Mitch's group is porting intel/Altera's to CASPER. Mitch: If you think I can help, please don't hesitate to contact me.
>From my point of view, this board is good for so-called high frequency telescopes, such as ALMA, SMA, GLT, JCMT and others. There is a paper by intel, you can have more details from there: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10254707 Best Homin Jiang On Tue, May 20, 2025 at 7:19 PM Jack Hickish <jackhick...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm at a meeting at Altera's UK office where they are pitching their wares > for defence tech. > Just wondering - are any CASPERites using, or interested in using, > Altera's line of Direct RF (their version of RFSoC) products, some of which > have 64GS/s digitizers. > > Cheers > Jack > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups " > casper@lists.berkeley.edu" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to casper+unsubscr...@lists.berkeley.edu. > To view this discussion visit > https://groups.google.com/a/lists.berkeley.edu/d/msgid/casper/CAG1GKS%3DWnmf9CTMjrOfa1KHWjNTDwNWhBGkAdkzz6Fyq8qYEdQ%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/a/lists.berkeley.edu/d/msgid/casper/CAG1GKS%3DWnmf9CTMjrOfa1KHWjNTDwNWhBGkAdkzz6Fyq8qYEdQ%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "casper@lists.berkeley.edu" group.
