GNU Radio Conference 2015 Recap
Corgan Labs and the rest of the GNU Radio Conference 2015 team are extremely proud to report that GRCon15 was a major success. Compared to 2014, attendance more than doubled for both the New Developer Day and general conference. Presenters covered a wide range of topics, from introductory sessions about getting started with GNU Radio to new advances in cognitive radio techniques using deep learning. We have received positive feedback from beginners and advanced developers alike. The growth of this conference, widespread adoption, and enthusiasm throughout the community is an indication that GNU Radio is a great platform to invest in.
Over the next few months Corgan Labs will be working with the GRCon15 team to highlight some of the interesting material and discussions.
RFNoC: Survey for Potential UsersOne very popular topic at the conference was RF Network-on-a-Chip (RFNoC), a new framework developed by Ettus Research that drastically reduces the effort required to offload high-performance DSP functions to an FPGA. RFNoC promises to revolutionize high-performance SDR design flows and enable new applications. However, RFNoC is a multi-faceted framework, which requires knowledge and experience in a number of areas for full utilization, such as digital design for FPGAs, DSP theory, C/C++ programming, and GNU Radio application development.
Corgan Labs is currently developing a course that will help users become productive using RFNoC and FPGA design. Planned for later this year, we are gathering input from potential attendees to understand their requirements. If you would like to participate in the survey, and receive $100 toward any Corgan Labs SDR course, please visit this page.
New Public CoursesCorgan Labs is also excited to announce new public courses designed for beginners. We started hosting these public courses in the beginning of 2015, and they have been a big hit. New course listings include:Click on the links above for more information about the public courses. Corgan Labs also offers on-site, customized, and advanced courses.
