Hi Dave, Thanks for this great tip. Can Robert ask about ballpark pricing for this Intel SoC? Best wishes, Jonathan Weintroub > On Feb 3, 2021, at 4:40 PM, 'Hawkins, David W (US 334B)' via > casper@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: > > Hi All, > > Robert Jarnot will try to contact the authors

Hi Jonathan, >> Can Robert ask about ballpark pricing for this Intel SoC? Sure, but have you ever got a straight answer from an FPGA vendor on their pricing? Intel Marketing: Our devices have 10x the bandwidth of the competition, so we should charge 5x the competitor. I’ll definitely ask

Hi All, Robert Jarnot will try to contact the authors of the document you can find on the Intel page. We will see if they can make some devices available for spectrometer applications. The video on the web site shows 32GHz of sampled bandwidth with pretty high SNR … just what we would love to

Hi Kaj, Okay, at least you are synthesising now - well done! It looks like it can't find the sysgen entity in your top.v. This can happen if your system generator did not run correctly. Please can you do the following for me: 1) zip up your "test_snap" folder under "jasper_library/test_models"

Hi Kaj, Excellent! :). I am glad you are finally sorted and I was happy to assist where I could. Looking forward to that beer in better times ;). I suggest that you go on the CASPER slack group and ask there about ZCU111. There is a #RFSoC channel, which will provide you all the information on

Hi Kaj, Good news and bad news. The good news is that when I compile "test_snap.slx" then I get the same issue as you and yes, sysgen is not building properly for some reason - hence, the error. This means there is something not correct with the "test_snap.slx" file. The bad news is that I am not

[casper] Seeking HLS Advice
