how to run this project? #2

I want to test the actual effect of this project. Are there any instructions or steps on how to build a hardware platform，thanks

Hi, the hardware system consists of Verilog files and some Xilinx IP cores, e.g., FFT, Complex Multiplier, Cordic. To re-build the system, it needs to create a Vivado project and add the needed Verilog files and pertinent configured IP cores into the project. It is a Tcl script (resp. another script) doing the process of creating the project for the Receiver (resp. Transmitter) systems automatically. In Windows OS, you can use a .bat script to invoke the Tcl script. Note that, it is needed to create a 'work' directory and change the Vivado install path accordingly to your computer.

Is zynq7030 + adi9361 or zynq7100 + adi9361 suitable for hardware? Or do you have any recommended hardware?

phthinh commented 2 years ago

Hi, I prefer a bigger FPGA. But be careful to select an FPGA board, Like, adi9361 may require FMC connectors.

Zynq7000+adi9361 can buy a ready-made development board, but I don't know how to run this project

Basically, the project can not be viewed as a completed system/prototype. It might be considered as an acceleration IP core to support the computation of OFDM modulation for the baseband modulation of a wireless communication system. The sub-system in the project could be integrated into a bigger system as on one end, it plugs into an SoC consisting of a processor which processes data frames in higher layers; on the other end, it needs some glue logic components to connect to a front-end RF. Mostly, the project focuses on sonly optimizing the hardware and power consumption of the OFDM modulation (particularly in synchronization) instead of building a complete prototype. So, if you want to build a prototype of an OFDM-based communication system, I guess there are many implementation works that need to be done.

Yes, I thought it was an 802.16 system that could work directly, so I wanted to run it on a zynq+9361 circuit board. It seems difficult to make it work in TDMA mode. I want to build a TDMA wireless communication system through it. Any good suggestions?
