SDR-2010
PC/Server Based Signal Processing Platform
Overview
The SDR-2010 is a pre-integrated signal processing system that provides high-speed A/D and D/A conversion combined with FPGA processing in an Intel-based PC or Server. An SDR-2010 system contains one or more of Spectrum’s PRO-2910 PCI Express (PCIe) carrier boards, each with two XMC/PMC sites. The standard SDR-2010 configuration includes one XMC-1131, a dual ADC FPGA processing module, and one XMC-2131, a dual DAC FPGA processing module, mounted on one PRO-2910 carrier in a Intel-based tower PC running Red Hat Linux.
This unique configuration gives all the flexibility and processing power of an embedded signal processing system. The PCI Express carrier card allows numerous combinations of FPGA, DSP and GPP processing devices to be hosted on this platform, enabling an extremely powerful and flexible signal processing platform.

Migration from PCIe to VPX-based Systems App Note
Spectrum’s SDR-2010 PCI Express (PCIe) system and SDR-7001 3U VPX system are high-performance Linux-based signal processing platforms that share a common base architecture that enables software portability. Users can develop their applications in a PC-based environment then migrate to a different hardware platform with virtual transparency to the software. This enables the applications to be rapidly deployed on a wide range of form factors from PC/Server-based to OpenVPX air-cooled format to rugged conduction-cooled OpenVPX.
This application note describes how an application developed on the SDR-2010 can be easily migrated to a Spectrum SDR-7000 System.
