3.This contains
1.basic module ---- fpga(code) + dsp
2.Advanced DAC ---- fpga(code) + DAC
3.RF module

4.Basic module is priced at 2500$
with others it is at 10000$

5.current support in Mhz range
they will come up with support for:
WIMAX --- 0.9 to 2 ghz
LTE --- 3 to 4 ghz (both read as placeholders)

6.Currently there is support for only systemC to write fpga code. No luck to layman c coders the syntax is different ...... things will change dramatically if KR c could be used write fpga
the price of fpga will come down from lac's to some thousands .... and probably affordable to many

Is it so difficult to create a bridge between C and systemC, I would like to implement my second brain hw using it
