FPGA Projects Spotlight

Geon Technologies is well-known for leading the industry in software-defined radio (SDR) frameworks like REDHAWK SDR. However, Geon’s growing portfolio of exciting FPGA projects deserve the spotlight too! This post gives you a recap of some of the FPGA projects

FINS

Frequency Estimator – Rapid FPGA Development with FINS

Geon has developed a Frequency Estimator IP which can perform FFTs of configurable bin size to estimate the frequency of an RF input. The IP achieves high precision while consuming few resources. Development and integration of the IP was accelerated

REDHAWK on a Xilinx ZCU111

I’m often asked if we at the Advanced Solutions Group office can install REDHAWK on a fill in the blank. And at this point it should come as no surprise that the tooling we turn to is from the Yocto

Ethernet

ZCU111 NIC – 100G Ethernet Subsystem & Quad SFP28

Introduction Geon has kicked off a design using Xilinx’s ZCU111 Evaluation Board along with the 100G Ethernet Subsystem IP core. In order to confirm our understanding of the IP core paired with the ZCU111’s Quad SPF28 cage, we have developed

PTPv2

Precision Time Protocol v2 on a Zynq

A few of us recently worked on a design that combined a Xilinx Zynq platform with the precision time protocol v2 (PTPv2, a.k.a. IEEE 1588-2008). You can find more details about the protocol here, but the summary is it can
