The reference hardware platform will be the SPEC board (http://www.ohwr.org/projects/spec/wiki) using a simple digital I/O mezzanine (http://www.ohwr.org/projects/fmc-dio-5chttla/wiki). Both cards are licensed under CERN Open Hardware Licence ( http://www.ohwr.org/projects/cernohl/wiki) so no strings attached on either code or hardware.
