Hello everybody,

I begin to change FPGA binary to output  two I&Q int8 in a otw word uint32.
I know that UHD do not support this data format for the moment. I'm looking to the UHD code to modify to support complex int8 data.
I identify this different C++ script:
Io_type
Convert_common
Convert_impl
Types

If someone could indicate the files affected by such a change, It will be very useful for me.

Thank you,

Marc

processing capabilities onto the FGPA of either the USRP2 or the N210
(which has the more capable FPGA). However, I am having trouble working
my way through the existing verilog code.

So, I have two novice questions.

  1.   Is the code the USRP2 folder of the UHD “bundle” appropriate
    

for the N210, or does the N210 use different firmware?

The usrp2 folder contains everything for all the motherboards other than
usrp1.  For N210, look in top/u2plus for the top level files.  Both the
USRP2 and N210 contain very similar designs and instantiate all the same
underlying blocks.  Only the top levels are different.

  1.   Besides the application notes and the header files for each  .v
    

file, is there some more documentation to be found?

Not much.  Do you have specific questions?
