The chip used is a lot bigger than anything used in hpsdr projects so 
far, but because the IO is hooked up differently you will need to modify 
existing programs or create your own. If you are thinking of DSP 
functions, there should be enough logic to create useful applications.

I will be purchasing one as soon as it's available for a different 
project of my own where the extra RAM and VGA port will come in handy.
