[hpsdr] Sasquatch II

[Henry Vredegoor]

Hi All,
 
 
N I H Syndrome = Not Invented Here ???
Good discussion ! - I have again a lot of things to read and study!
If this is what you get by (re-)announcing a project "early" like Phil C.
indicated, I am all for it!  :-)))
 
Henry.

Of course, eventually you'd want to do your own OMAP board, but the
BeagleBoard looks like it would be useful for experimentation.  All of
the build files are available including Gerbers.


 Two thoughts, obliquely related.

(1) An OMAP board would provide *very* deep system infrastructure support.
Much of what you'd want to provide in the way of system services to the DSP
code is off-the-shelf. Likewise the paths to the outside world, user apps,
etc. Likewise room for later expansion of functionality, etc.

(2) A development trajectory like generic platform -> Beagle Board -> custom
OMAP means that a working development environment would be available, free,
and would come with a significant support community, *right now*.

My private opinion, not one I'm urging on anybody else, is that *not* using
a strategy like (2) is mostly an expression of severe NIH syndrome.
