Hardware Platforms

USRP B210 Clone (XC7K325T)

A clone of the Ettus USRP B210 using a Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K325T FPGA. This project includes custom firmware, configurations, and extensive documentation of the bring-up process.

CaribouLite

An open-source, dual-channel SDR HAT for Raspberry Pi, covering frequencies from 389.5 MHz to 3800 MHz with transmit and receive capabilities.
