For some time @securelyfitz and I have been working on a new hardware security tool. It is called epic-erebus. It is a tiny m.2 WiFi module sized FPGA board allowing the access to the PCIe interface. If you remember the slotscreamer, this is the evolution of that idea. It can do a lot more in the small form factor and FPGA on board. We just published our pre-campaign page. You can sign up for updates for when the campaign launches some time next year. https://www.crowdsupply.com/securinghw/epic-erebus #EpicErebus #fpga
EPIC Erebus

A tiny PCIe DMA tool that's fully customizable with an open toolchain and gateware

@esden @securelyfitz Does that include the development of PCIe core for ECP5 ? AFAIK there is currently no such thing ?
@tnt @securelyfitz Yes it does, we are in the process of developing open-source PCIe gateware for the ECP5. This is why we are planning to launch the campaign next year so that we can show off working gateware. :)
@esden @tnt @securelyfitz jay! (I don't care about the security work, sorry! But I could really make use of an M.2 FPGA prototyping tool for DSP and FEC dev, and for educational purposes.)
@funkylab @esden @tnt @securelyfitz Same here. I would totally rip off that design to build a PCIe card-form factor SDR you can use in a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe adapter.
@hennichodernich @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz Interesting, to be fair there is already a bunch of PCIe connected SDR solutions out there. They are not using an FPGA that is supported by the open-tools, but otherwise they do offer that form factor. I am curious what the advantage beyond openness of the underlying protocol that has nothing to do with the actual SDR capabilities you would gain here. https://www.crowdsupply.com/search?q=sdr

@esden @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz I find no joy in using SDRs. I find tremendous joy in designing and building them. πŸ˜‰
@esden @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz And "yet another LMS6002 or AD9361 SDR" doesn't cut it for me.
@hennichodernich @esden @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz
I womder when will there be:
* next generation SDR chip
* cheap clone of AD9361
@brouhaha @esden @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz I'm looking forward to the ADRV9002. (I had the opportunity to play around with it on an FMC add-on board at $DAYJOB.)
@hennichodernich @esden @funkylab @tnt @securelyfitz
AD was talking about a PlutoNG three years ago. What happened to it? Sigh.

It got upgraded and therefore now is named after the biggest planet in our solar system.

It doesn't seem to matter what the name is, it doesn't actually appear to be available.
