Today at Tacos I mentioned that I was following some interesting
technology that has shown up on the Internet. Now, I don't have
any of this cool hardware myself, but I know a few here on Tacos
have been involved with Arduinos and/or FPGAs. Here's what happens
when you combine these approaches...

Taking the Arduino approach to FPGA development boards:

What's a ZPU?

There's a ZPU in the new gnuradio hardware peripherals,
handling the TCP networking duties from inside the FPGA.

Hope this is of interest,
