Virtually any air interface can be supported by SDR-3000, making it ideally suited for defense programs such as software defined military communications programs, signals intelligence, as well as commercial applications including cellular base stations, spectrum monitoring, test and measurement. flexComm SDR-3000 Hardware The SDR-3000 hardware consists of a series of cPCI-based boards, including: * PRO-3100: a front-end processing board supporting four user-programmable Xilinx Virtex-II FPGAs. * PRO-3500: a signal processing board supporting two PowerPC G4 processors, up to two additional G4 or `C64X procesors, and/or additional I/O. * TM1-3300: an analog I/O board supporting four 80 MHz ADCs and four 160 MHz DACs. * TM1-3350: an analog I/O board supporting two 212 MHz ADCs and two 212 MHz DACs. * TM1-3902: an I/O reference design and high-performance digital I/O solution. All boards are designed for use in high availability applications. In order to achieve optimal dataflows, the following standard interconnects are used: * All FPGAs and G4 processors are connected via flexFabric, a serial RapidIO-based switched fabric that allows virtually any dataflow to be achieved when working with high-data rate front-end processing. TM1-3300 TM1-3300 * All processing boards (PRO-3100 and PRO-3500) are Ethernet flexFabric (Serial RapidIO) connected via a PICMG 2.16 switched Ethernet backplane, allowing simple network integration, efficient integration of development tools, and an efficient data path for lower speed payload data. * Both the PRO-3100 and PRO-3500 have standard Redundant Ethernet Switch cPCI interfaces, allowing simple integration with any third-party cPCI boards, and an efficient control path that is independent from the data path. Redundant PRO-3100 These concepts are illustrated in Figure 1. Ethernet Switch PRO-3500 PRO-3500 PRO-3500 cPCI Bus (Control and Setup) Figure 1. Example SDR-3000 Configuration (high availability) [ PRO-3100 ] The PRO-3100 is a cPCI board with four user-programmable Xilinx Virtex-II FPGAs, and is ideal for very high data rate front-end processing. These can support: * Up to 160 narrowband down converter channels of 2 MHz bandwidth or less, or * Up to 40 wideband channels of 40 MHz or less The PRO-3100 contains a user-programmable embedded PowerPC 405GP controller to offload system control from the FPGA processors, which can then be dedicated to signal processing. It also provides a seamless network interface. The following summarizes the external interfaces on the PRO-3100 board: * TM1 interface (to the TM1-3300) - can handle 8 simultaneous 80 MSPS channels * flexFabric interface - supporting up to six 320 MB/s full-duplex switched fabric links * PICMG 2.16 compliant switched Ethernet * 66 MHz, 32-bit PCI via cPCI backplane For more information on the PRO-3100, please see the PRO-3100 datasheet. PRO-3100 [ PRO-3500 ] The PRO-3500 is a signal processing engine with two PowerPC G4 processors, and support for two ePMC modules. Up to two additional G4s or additional I/O can be supported via additional ePMC modules. The PRO-3500 contains a user-programmable embedded PowerPC 405GP controller to provide networking support, and to offload system control from the PowerPC G4 processors, which can then be dedicated to signal processing. The following summarizes the external interfaces on the PRO-3500 board: * flexFabric interface - supporting up to two 320 MB/s full-duplex switched fabric links * PICMG 2.16 compliant switched Ethernet * 66 MHz, 32-bit PCI via cPCI backplane * ePMC module sites: ePMC modules are PMC modules that are equipped with Solano~link ports to move high-speed data to the PRO-3500 via an additional connector. Four dedicated, full-duplex 200 MB/s data paths between the PRO-3500 and the ePMC module are supported. For more information on the PRO-3500, please see the PRO-3500 datasheet.

[ TM1-3902 ] The TM1-3902 is both a reference design that facilitates the design of custom I/O as well as a high performance digital I/O solution for SDR-3000 systems. For more information on the TM1-3902, please see the TM1-3902 datasheet. [ flexFabric ] All signal processing devices, including FPGAs, G4's and `C64X's, are connected via flexFabric, a serial RapidIO-based switched fabric that allows virtually any dataflow to be achieved when working with high-data rate front-end processing. flexFabric supports the following specific features: * flexFabric - Serial RapidIO-based switched fabric connects all boards with deterministic, low-latency data paths that can sustain payload data rates of 320 MB/s (full-duplex). A wide variety of application-specific topologies can be created using different backplanes and backplane overlays. * Packet switches are built into the PRO-3100. This allows use of passive backplanes, eliminating the backplane as a single point of failure in high availability systems. [ Ethernet ] Both the PRO-3100 and PRO-3500 support 100 Mbps Ethernet via either of: * PICMG 2.16 compliant CompactPCI Backplane * Front panel flexComm SDR-3000 Software SDR-3000 features a standards-based software stack, providing performance, code portability, and allowing choice with respect to which components are used in an application. [ TAO CORBA ] Waveform N Waveform 2 Waveform 1 Application resource (FPGA) IP cores (Xilinx or other 3rd party) Application resource (PPC) quicWave VSIPL Application resource (DSP) CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is an industry standard means of developing distributed, multiprocessor, multi-OS, multi-vendor software systems. Every PowerPC processor in the SDR-3000 platform is supplied with an Object Request Broker, or ORB, to facilitate CORBA development if required. Although different variants of CORBA are commercially available from various vendors, Spectrum selected the TAO open-source ORB due to its ideal combination of level of industry adoption, performance and price. Although TAO CORBA is supplied as standard, its actual use is completely optional, and software applications can be built on the VxWorks and quicComm layers. [ VxWorks and Tornado ] Application Framework (SCA) Spectrum SCA BSP Logical Device CORBA Object Request Broker Operating System (VxWorks) and TCP/IP Stack Hardware Hardware Abstraction (quicComm, 3rd Party device drivers) Figure 2.

These include: * High-performance interprocessor communication: quicComm provides high-level software links and signals between all processors allowing a simple, yet extremely powerful programming model * Booting functions for PowerPCs, user programmable FPGAs and `C64X DSPs * Flash programming tools for both the PRO-3100 and PRO-3500 * Control of all I/O not covered by the operating system (e.g. control of digital radio hardware) quicComm is available on all generations of flexComm products released since 2000, and will be available on all future generations, allowing maximum code portability and reducing the learning curve. [ Software Communications Architecture (SCA) ] The SCA is an open specification sponsored by the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program. It specifies software, hardware, security, and networking architecture requirements for open, programmable Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems with flexible, re-programmable communication capabilities. Specifically, the SCA specifies a common framework to build-up, configure, connect and tear down distributed, embedded radio applications while maximizing waveform portability. Spectrum has partnered with Harris Corporation to provide a mature, fully functional SCA core framework, in conjunction with Spectrum's SCA BSP, which implements those portions of the SCA core framework specific to the SDR-3000. For full details, please see the "Harris dmTK and Spectrum SCA BSP" datasheet. [ VSI/Pro ] Spectrum has partnered with MPI Software Technology to bring you VSI/Pro, a vector and image processing library, specifically optimized to the PowerPC G4. The library is fully compliant with the VSIPL API standard, as published by the VSIPL forum, maximizing code portability via an efficient programming interface. For further details on the VSIPL forum, please see: www.vsipl.org. VSI/Pro contains optimized functions for common signal processing tasks such as FFTs, FIR filters, dot products and trigonometric/algebraic functions. Full details of VSI/Pro can be found at www.mpi-softtech.com. [ quicWave for PowerPC ] quicWave for PowerPC is a library of building blocks for the development of wireless modems (waveforms). These building blocks can be combined with user-defined and other quicWave blocks to create a complete PowerPC-based wireless application. Typical blocks would include modulation and demodulation, carrier recovery, symbol rate recovery, forward error correction (FEC) and decision circuits. quicWave for PowerPC is built on top of the VSIPL industry standard interface for signal processing functionality. This allows the library to be optimized to the PowerPC G4 Altivec engine simply by linking with VSI/Pro. For full details, please see the quicWave for PowerPC datasheet. [ FPGA Cores ] A comprehensive selection of FPGA cores is available, many of them free, from the Xilinx IP center at http://www.xilinx.com/ipcenter/index.htm.
