This year, NEWSDR will be held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), and consists of a day-long symposium on Friday, as well as several hands-on short courses the evening before on Thursday. You are welcome to attend either or both events, which are entirely free. Attendance is typically about 100 people, and attendees come from both academia and industry. * WORKSHOPS Thursday May 3 16:00 to 21:00 Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) Atwater Kent Laboratories Building 125 Salisbury Street Worcester, MA 01609 AGENDA 16:00 to 17:00 Pizza/Soda and Attendee Networking 17:00 to 18:00 Early Session for Setup 18:00 to 21:00 Workshop Events Two workshops are being offered: * "Real Time Over-the-Air Communications Links with MATLAB/Simulink" by MathWorks * "FPGA Programming on the USRP with the RFNoC Framework" by Ettus Research MathWorks and Ettus Research will each run a short course during the evening before the main event. Short courses are technical, practical, hands-on activities in a group setting. Specific topics and further details about the short courses will be announced shortly. Attendance is free, but advance registration is required. Free pizza and soda will be provided. Title: FPGA Programming on the USRP using the RFNoC Framework Abstract: Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the radio block, or the host CPU). Users can create modular, FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph. RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will present an interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a user-defined CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio. Prerequisites: Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers. All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop. Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Attendees should also have some basic familiarity with Verilog. Extensive or deep experience with these topics is not necessary.
