Hi, I am looking to do some channelization on the B200, how much space is available on its FPGA after the default image is loaded? I am new to FPGAs, and wondering what the reasonable expectation should be - how many NBFM channels can I expect to be able to get, if any? (just channelized, not demodulated). If there is not really room for any of that on the B200, would it make sense to use another USRP (and if so which), or perhaps something like NI's myRIO? Thanks! T.

If you want to do FPGA development on the B-series, the B210 might be a better choice, as it has the functionality and capabilities as the B200, but with a larger FPGA. You will need Xilinx ISE, System Edition, version 14.7 or later to build FPGA images. The free Xilinx ISE WebPack Edition will not work. --Neel On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 12:49 PM, Tal Achituv via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am looking to do some channelization on the B200, how much space is > available on its FPGA after the default image is loaded? > > I am new to FPGAs, and wondering what the reasonable expectation should be > - how many NBFM channels can I expect to be able to get, if any?

Hi Tal, I can't estimate the utilization of a NBFM channel off the top of my head but here is the utilization for the default B200 and B210 images. If your channelizer does not need too much block RAM and just utilizes logic blocks and DSPs then you could possibly fit something in the B210.
