Hi All,
As I noticed that the Blade RF SDR board has the option of using either the 40K ( EP4CE40F23C8) or 115K ( EP4CE115F23C8) Altera device, I would like to check if LimeSDR could be upgraded to the device EP4CE115F23C8 using hot air BGA reflowing?
I tried checking if EP4CE115F23 would need changes in the pin assignments but it seems that the top level entity is missing in the github repo, so I’m not sure if we can rebuild the FPGA project.
Has anyone investigated this and rebuilt the FPGA from github files successfully?
In the Altera setting file: https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR-USB_GW/blob/master/LimeSDR-USB_lms7_trx.qsf
The top level and device information is:
set_global_assignment -name FAMILY “Cyclone IV E”
set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EP4CE40F23C8
set_global_assignment -name TOP_LEVEL_ENTITY lms7_trx_top
set_global_assignment -name ORIGINAL_QUARTUS_VERSION 15.0.0
But I could not find the entity “lms7_trx_top” in the source files.
Could anyone check if github has all the RTL files to rebuild the FPGA?
Once I’m able to rebuild, I would like to check what is needed to port the Altera project to DEVICE EP4CE115F23C8.
Thanks, Rob KK6IOZ
