RFNoC -- Evolving SDR toolkits to the FPGA platform

Faster, lower latency, and still GNU Radio

RFNoC is a framework to simplify FPGA development for DSP processing. It is fully open source and integrates well into GNU Radio. In this talk, RFNoC is presented and demoed.

RFNoC (RF Network on Chip) is a powerful framework to simply FPGA development for DSP processing. RFNoC applications are mostly heterogeneous signal processing applications, where workload is shared between the FPGA and GPP, and tasks are assigned to whichever hardware is more appropriate.

RFNoC integrates well into GNU Radio, the most popular free software DSP framework. It is fully open source and currently works with the X310 and E310 USRPs.
