I see.
That's clearly just for the development board--I think their
processors can handle more channels,
But a single USB 2.0 Port won't handle
much more in duplex mode, IIRC
but the $350 development board
will support up to 6 channels. It would be better to develop some
board designs around the chips, and see how the cost comes out.
Maybe.
Depending on what the base-module would require,
unit price could drop or increase.
- Make most of
it optional and modular.
- Make 1 (extensible) low-cost + 1 (all-incl.) high-end design
Yes, I tend to agree. There's several different processors in their
product line, and it's a good development platform to look at tiered
approaches with different goals.
Thanks for your feedback, Emanuel. It's sort of a game-changer to me.
Clearly, there's no point in starting a project that would duplicate
an existing solution. I appreciate new information like this.
I'll have to think this over for quite a while to see which way I'd
want to go--whether there's a worthy project goal in an FPGA based
design that cannot be more easily (or more cheaply) accomplished.
FPGAs can process much data in little time concurrently,
but as we see, alternatives open up.
Anyway, if you came up with anything new, let us know.
Kind regards,
Emanuel
