[Ground-station] ORI FPGA Projects meetup for 10 March 2026

[Michelle Thompson]

Greetings all!

Reminder for tomorrow's Projects meetup at 1000 US Pacific.

1. OpenCPI updates (Haifuraiya, DVB-S2/X encoder work, and more)

2. AMSAT-UK support for MDT SIC design

Next concrete steps for MDT SIC: Build or acquire Martin's
dynamic-transponder board. Martin indicated he was moving forward with a
board build, but we do not know the schedule for this. So, we decided to
prototype this with an equivalent iCE40UP5K and STM32H7 setup. We bought a
NUCLEO-H753ZI and an ICE40UP5K-B-EVN from Newark. We will synthesize our
polyphase channelizer for iCE40UP5K, write STM32 firmware for SPI data
transfer and magnitude computation, and then test with real RF (or at least
injected I/Q test vectors). Maybe we can demonstrate this in June at
Friedrichshafen? I have asked if AMSAT-UK folks will be there.

3. Opulent Voice updates (HDL bug with preamble stomping things confirmed
fixed, updates to software modem)

4. Open Discussion and Office Hours

Open Research Institute, Inc. is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
