PCIe card with FPGA and DAC

does it have to be pcie?

else,

EURO 199, zynq7010, dual adc/dac 125Ms/14bit

Theres a MAX 10 dev board, but its USB 2.0 NI comes to mind, they had a PCIe FPGA board to go with their LabView FPGA complier.

MCCdaq comes up empty.

bittware ???

That might work. He needs some fast realtime (roughly 10 us) digital control of pre-programmed analog stuff, but that might be done through that 8-bit digital port, with a cable from a parallel interface board in his PC. Vaguely like hitting piano keys.

Thanks

Sounds like a video card. no FPGA, but you get oodles of RAM and a massively parallel GPU. dunno if the DAC has enough bits or not.

Jan did DVB-S in CPU software with VGA output.

That would be nice to see! Do you have a link?

On a sunny day (Tue, 9 Jun 2015 22:31:08 +0100) it happened "Tomas D." wrote in :

Are you talking about me? Dunno about 'VGA' output, but I did a DVB-S encoder + transmitter on the Raspberry Pi.

There is a guy who made test cards using the graphics card, but that only works for pre-encoded still pictures, receivin gan harmonic IIRC. Sort of a wave form generator... and he did not release source either.

So anyways I took the DVB-S spec, wrote the encoder myself, and released source, the first hardware was very simple, but works 100 %:

Funny I was the first one in this side of the universe to release DVB-S encoder source code..

There is a later version now with better hardware. That will be used for sat uplink, well some code etc was posted here, it is sitting on a table waiting for the sat.

Credits for the hardware go to a lot of other people, see website.

On VGA, so if you need a fast 8 bit DAC, there are 3.

He ordered the Red thing to play with. He did find an alternate board that costs 30x as much.
