[hpsdr] Alternative hardware for SDR

[Phil Harman]

Hi Charles,

Some of the development/evaluation kits are very nice. I used one to do some 
commercial video processing some years ago. We actually had all the code 
written and tested on the development board before the real PCBs arrived.

Most of the boards come with evaluation versions of IP e.g.  Gigabit 
Ethernet. If you want to use these on a commercial project then the license 
fees can be a bit steep. Still its a very good way of testing new hardware 
chips and interfaces before putting the effort into building our own PCBs.

Thanks for bringing  this to our attention.

Doesn't look like any slowing down in finding new HPSDR projects!
