Artix-7 B210-Compatible SDR Platform – USB 3.0 Type-C

Product Overview

This software defined radio platform is designed to be fully compatible with USRP B210 under both Windows and Linux environments. Compatibility is achieved by replacing the firmware binary file. For Linux, an automatic replacement script is provided, while Windows users can directly replace the firmware in the corresponding tool directories.

The platform is based on the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA series, significantly reducing power consumption while offering improved logic resources. Both XC7A100T and XC7A200T versions are fully compatible with B210, with differences only in FPGA logic scale.
