The BytePipe_x9002 SOM is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) System on Module (SOM) based on Analog Devices Inc.’s ADRV9002 Agile Transceiver™ with the Xilinx ZYNC®- UltraScale+ SoC. The SOM can be used as an evaluation tool, prototyping platform, or integrated into a full-scale product. The ADRV9002 2x2 MIMO transceiver with integrated DPD engine operates from 30MHz to 6GHz and supports both narrowband and wideband channel bandwidths from 12.5KHz to 40MHz. The narrow band support makes it suitable for applications including, Land Mobile Radio, APCO P25-PII while supporting higher bandwidth applications like satellite communications, IoT, cellular, LTE, or Wi-Fi. NextGen RF Design, through our design services lab, can also support customized versions optimized for application specific requirements.
The BytePipe Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a framework for quickly evaluating the BytePipe hardware platform. It also serves as a starting point for users to create custom applications. The SDK includes example projects for the Cortex A53 application processing unit, Cortex R5 real-time processing unit, and programmable logic. The software is broken into several source folders as shown below. Each source folder contains documentation, source files, and build scripts related to a specific component.
If you are new to the BytePipe start with the rflan application. The rflan software provides users with tools for evaluating the BytePipe_x9002 SOM and is the starting point for users interested in creating custom production style set of firmware.
