Re: Learning while on vacation
When I wrote my previous message that mentioned latency, I could have been more clear. I blame jet lag and diving back into the T41 project right after a vacation. This discussion might be confusing

Re: Learning while on vacation
I'd like to throw in a couple of things to this great discussion from a systems perspective. In respect of latency one could ask questions like these perhaps: Does/will it exist? Does it matter, and

Re: Learning while on vacation
Having written a lot of code for Hermes and Apache Labs radios I can assure that it does not do all the DSP work in the FPGA. On the receive side the hardware ADC samples 64 MHz of spectrum with 24

I was gonna say¡ from what I¡¯ve seen¡ even the Hermes project¡ the FPGA did all of the digital processing including FP DSP¡ but the A/D, D/A, and analog filters were all external to the

Wes et al.: The processor of the Teensy 4.0 and 4.1 does have parallel functionality.? It has a 6-stage *superscalar* pipeline. This project was born from source code that provided us many

Re: Learning while on vacation
Don¡¯t know which of us you are responding to but the difference between Teensy 4.1 and an FPGA processing is not latency. It is abrupt interruption of processing and odd consequences of what happens

Re: Learning while on vacation
Here in the USA our ARRL is fighting the proposed use of HF for "high frequency trading".? Wall Street stock traders on HF! I suppose wireless is the minimal latency that is physically possible.?

Re: Learning while on vacation
Hmm, latency in radio comms. Just for grins, I chose my home QTH and the first place I could think of in Australia, which was Adelaide, Turns out that the distance is about 9,184 miles as the 747

Re: Learning while on vacation
I think you will have problems implementing the DSP functions in the FPGA.? It is fairly easy to get samples from an A-D or D-A and do some processing on it to implement a DDC or DUC, but to do any

Re: Learning while on vacation
What you say works for regular processors, even with multiple cores. Not for FPGAs. They always have many thread-equivalent tasks running independent of the rest. They CAN communicate if you want them

Re: Learning while on vacation
Wes: You're right that all SDR's suffer some degree of latency. The real question is: "How much?" Using the Teensy 4.1 is nowhere near the performance of an SDR based on the Intel I9 processor.

Re: Learning while on vacation
Late to the discussion, but.. those are dangerous words. :-) The primary rule of real-time programming is that software must never cause a task to miss its timing deadline. The corollary is that when
