“…Meanwhile, ARM-Linux kernel space can transfer data sampled by ADC in blocks to ARM-Linux user space (the maximum data block size is 120Kbytes), ARM can process data in ARM-Linux user space. [7] Real-time system must have ability to process and transmit data with high speed. In order to ensure constant and continuous data transmission, ARMLinux system uses ping-pong operation of two pieces of data buffer (the maximum data buffer size is 120K bytes) to achieve real-time data in series.…”

Abstract. The rapid rise in computational performance offered by computer systems has greatly increased the number of practical software radio applications. A scheme presented in this paper is a software radio platform based on ARM and FPGA. FPGA works as the coprocessor together with the ARM, which serves as the core processor. ARM is used for digital signal processing and real-time data transmission, and FPGA is used for synchronous timing control and serial-parallel conversion. A SPI driver for real-time data transmission between ARM and FPGA under ARM-Linux system is provided. By adopting modular design, the software radio platform is capable of implementing wireless communication functions and satisfies the requirements of real-time signal processing platform for high security and broad applicability.

“…In GReasy, an alternative method is used for bitstream generation. GReasy utilizes TFlow for back-end bitstream construction, which places and routes parameterized pre-compiled modules into a FPGA bitstream, and does so in a few seconds time -well within the expectation of a software-only flow [5].…”

“…TFlow is built on top of TORC which is an API for user manipulation of EDIF and XDL files as well as bitstream packets, and uses a library of pre-compiled modules and associated meta-data, enabling bitstream-level assembly of desired designs that can occur in a fraction of the time of traditional back-end tools [12], [5]. This is done by splitting the hardware design into two distinct phases.…”

This paper presents a Zynq capable version of GNU Radio -an open-source rapid radio deployment tool -with an enhanced flow that utilizes the processing capability of FPGAs. This work features TFlow -an FPGA back-end compilation accelerator for instant FPGA assembly. The Xilinx Zynq FPGA architecture integrates the FPGA fabric and CPU onto a single chip, which eliminates the need for a controlling host computer; thus, providing a single, portable, low-power, embedded platform. By exploiting the computational advantages of FPGAs in the GNU Radio flow, a larger class of software defined radios can be implemented. Once the FPGA is programmed with a design, modules can be parameterized to realize an even larger class of applications and further solidify the concept of rapid assembly of software defined radios.
