Altera and BittWare Jointly Develop Software Programmable Reconfiguration Platform
ltera Corporation and BittWare has announced the Software Programmable Reconfiguration (SPR) reference platform, which allows designers to bring their software-defined radio (SDR) applications to life quickly and cost-effectively. With the SPR platform, developers of SDRs and other digital signal processing (DSP)-based applications have a flexible, portable and low-cost design methodology for exploring software reconfiguration of military waveform functionality.
Provides the Military SDR Market With a Portable, MicroTCA-Like Environment for Rapid Waveform Development
The SPR platform leverages AMC and MicroTCA form factors with BittWare’s hybrid FPGA coprocessing products and Altera’s low-power, low cost and high-functionality Cyclone® III FPGA family. The result is a software-based methodology for reconfiguring system functionality. The SPR platform reduces development times for SDRs and DSP-based applications by replacing multiple iterations of hardware reconfigurations with software compiles. This approach helps reduce risk and accelerate SDR hardware systems.
