CORBA Based interfacing between GPP and DSP/FPGA Project Objectives:

By establishing the interface between GPP and FPGA/DSP, GPPs load has been subdivided. Increase of efficiency and enhancement of signal processing can be achieved in this way. The task of signal processing is done purely by the DSP.

To learn OSSIE software for deployment on Davinci platform. To learn ways of writing proxies (Device drivers) for DSP and FPGA Passing two numeric numbers / signals (as an argument) from GPP to DSP/FPGA and get the result of any arithmetic operation performed on them.

Broad statement of Scope:

A physical hardware (C64 board with DSP ICs and FPGAs on it) that facilitates both GSM and CDMA protocol to be executed simultaneously.

Project Summary:
The purpose of this project is to made the communication between two entirely different protocols. The main purpose of the project is to made use of the SDR technology which uses softwares to implement hardware components. A practical model of software defined radio is like that in which designer goal is to digitize the signal as early as possible in receiver chain and to convert to analog domain as late as possible in transmitter chain. SDR technology offers several benefits to radio equipment manufacturers , service providers and end users like different radio products can be implemented using same common hardware platform , allowing new products to be launched quickly and it also include the benefit like end users will be able to communicate with whomever they will need, whenever they will need and in whatever manner will be appropriate.

In this project , first we have to research about the previous work (if available). OSSIE software is implemented by the Virgina Tech that is open source platform. We have to cross compile the core files of OSSIE software for GPP and DSP. And then we have to develop an interface between them. After a while, we can use for many applications that include GPP and DSP processing. Like to merge GSM, CDMA and 3G etc.

Cost:
TMS320DM6446 Power board USRP board Making of SDR board $798. $002 $758 $100

Benefits:
By doing this , we are able to communicate between different protocols. For example , in board prospective, Protocol A is GPP dependent and Protocol B is DSP dependent. This way, we can communicate and manage both the technologies. Such that GSM and CDMA. This will unbound the limits of communications and handle the signals traffic efficiently . This system handles more user at a time. So , it will also reduce the call rates as well.
