Episode 185 - 1: System on a Chip - DCC Sunday Seminar Part 1 through 4 
hourly sections.

"Published on Jan 7, 2015

 From the 2014 ARRL and TAPR DCC in Austin TX. Chris Testa KD2BMH is 
designing the Whitebox, the "HT of the Future." It will be a multi-mode, 
multi-band ham radio that will look and work more like a smartphone: 
touchscreen display, apps, and all the analog and digital modes he can 
stuff in (and license). Chris is working with Bruce Perens K6BP on the 
Whitebox project.

THIS FOUR-PART SERIES is the DCC SUNDAY SEMINAR, a four-hour "deep dive" 
into a single subject. Most of the DCC talks run about 45 minutes, so 
the Sunday Seminar gives the presenter time to be a lot more detailed 
(about 4 times more detailed, if you do the math).

The full title explains the subject: System on a Chip - Programming 
FPGAs for Mixed Signal Systems. An FPGA will be the heart of the 
Whitebox radio, and its programming will be the brain. Chris explains in 
as much detail as a four-hour talk allows just what it takes to do that 
programming."
