I'll buy a 64 bit ARM laptop tomorrow if it will help me do some of the stuff I want to do with higher data rate "stuff" and GNURadio :)
you've seen the parallela and the zynq zc70xx plans, a gnuradio port to the parallela, right?
Yes, I have a Parallella - Kickstarter prototype with small heatsink :( and I've seen what's been done thus far with GNURadio porting.
It looks as if you can get "stock" GNURadio to run on the ARM cores and will then need to do quite a bit of programming on the Epiphany cores to get any use out of them. It looks almost as hard as building a Linux distribution from scratch :(
A HackRF is coming - see, I had a lot of money and could wait a long time for Kickstarter projects to come through - but GNURadio looks to need a large amount of grunt for processing and is a very rapidly moving target which makes it a lot harder to get to grips with.
It may be that I'm just out of my depth - but it does appear that most ARM SoC are underpowered for this - even something like the BBB or the Cubietruck. Any and all contradiction very gratefully received, as ever.
All the very best,
