[hpsdr] Ozy with Gb Ethernet

[Eric Ellison]

Warren

 

Well, as you will find out I don't design in hardware or software, but sort
of just a devils advocate. Also thoroughly addicted to reading spec sheets
and web links you guys come up with . One thing I'm sure of is that it is
not going to be trivial or someone would have started with a Gb Ethernet
port and stacks instead of, or in addition to the High Speed USB. 

 

I dabble in Access programming on occasion, and one thing I have found is
that it is most times harder for me to copy an entire database program and
make it a different program by 'removing and replacing parts'. After
attempting it too many times, I have realized it was just better to do a new
design and use the 'experience' from previous databases and small parts of
the database to generate something new and better. 

 

Hence my suggestion of  something along the lines of Epimethius. I find the
description of Epi on the Wiki interesting!

>From Encyclopedia Mythica? "Epimetheus ("afterthought") is the son of
Iapetus and Clymene. He foolishly ignored his brother Prometheus' warnings
to beware of any gifts from Zeus*. He accepted Pandora as his wife, thereby
bringing ills and sorrows to the world". 

Or just start from scratch and rename to something original. Use the best
from all ideas! Your honors!

 

Thanks

Eric

Eric, 

Thanks for the welcome. 

Why an Ozy... Well, in looking through the list archives, I found Lyle's
message from February 11th calling for project leaders. He mentioned the Ozy
with a Gb Ethernet controller. If there is a better/different idea, I'm
open. 

One thing about a Gb Ethernet board, it's not going to be simple.

Hi Warren!

 

Lyle has a habit of "springing traps like this!"  Welcome and let me be the
first to ask a stupid question of our latest project leader/volunteer.

 

Why an Ozy?

 

Ozy is pretty dedicated (at the moment) to Interfacing the SDR-1000 with
it's large DB-25 and a number of other custom devices dedicated to the
purpose of talking with SDR-1000.

 

Why not an Epimetheus? Dedicated to 'other I/O' functions? I think I've seen
quite a number of chips dedicated to making dumb devices like table lamps
and such, into web servers etc, why not an HPSDR i/o board?. Aside from the
Atlas being a little 'slow' for a Gig backbone that is true whatever board
it is put on.

I know dumb question, but hey everything starts with a new idea being
discussed and new people to head it up.

 

Thanks

Eric

Hi to the list,

My name is Warren Walsh - K2BM, I'm new to the list and the hpsdr site. That
being said, I have volunteered to look into an Ozy board with a Gb Ethernet
interface instead of the USB port. Are there any general guidelines that I
should following? If anyone has any ideas already, I'd be happy to hear
them. 

Thanks and 73,
Warren Walsh - K2BM
