<div>The Minerva board will stand on it's own, it replaces

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Minerva must be installed inside of a PC of some sort along
with a CUDA capable GPU.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's also conceivable that a PC motherboard could be
mounted inside the RF unit, but a PC to host Minerva and CUDA
capable GPU is required no matter what (integrated or
separate).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There will be a new, dedicated external RF unit to go with
it. Interfaces will be TX RF, RX RF and I2C control. Assuming
the PC remains physically separate, the RF unit will contain
*only* the the equivalent of the PA/RF board found in the
current radio hardware.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There will be no external microphone or speaker
connections. All of that will/must flow through the PC. Those
who have been using VAC to virtualize their audio will have a
big leg up on the learning curve compared to those who
continue to attached directly to the hardware.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure about PTT or key/paddle connections. Those might
flow through PC serial ports (as is currently supported by
PowerSDR/Thetis) or they might attach to the RF unit and flow
over I2C to Minerva.</div>

Enjoyed the video very much.<br>
So in application, to do radio work, will the DFC board
connect to a Hermes or Hermes II<br>
board or ANAN transceiver loaded with new “simple” FPGA
software? <br>
<br>
Will all the ANAN transceivers be compatible or just the
latest batch (7000/8000)?<br>
<br>
Do you envision developing or hacking a new lower cost
Hermes type board that will handle <br>
the transmit and receive duties, with less components
and smaller FPGA etc?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Jeff<br>
