Can you reconfigure the FPGA by changing some software based description in a development tool (Quartus) or do you need to break out a soldering iron or SMT rework station? The facts are: what is run in an FPGA is SOFTWARE DEFINED. I despise this dichotomy to the n-th degree and aver it is who

Well, thats good enough. But then, I havent still got the relevant documentation on this anywhere on the trac. I mean, I want to know how does the host side handle all the related (I)FFT stuff. Please help me in this regard. Maybe some USRP documentation on OFDM might suffice. Thanks a lot. R
