Rhino tutorials at the HPSPSA Workshop 2014

I’m happy to report that the Rhino platform tutorials went well at the HPSPSA workshop that took place at the end of January together with the ROACH tutorials that were offered by the SKA-SA team.

High-performance Signal and Data Processing Workshop 2014

The next High-performance Signal and Data Processing in South Africa (HPSPSA) Workshop will take place between 27-31 January 2014 at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. The workshop aims to bring together key people to discuss grand challenges facing the signal processing community in Radio Astronomy, Gamma Ray Astronomy and Particle Physics, and to provide knowledge sharing to delegates in both a lecture format, as well as a classroom environment for hands-on hardware training.

Follow us on twitter

We now have 8 Rhino boards in the ether and a manufacturer in the US willing to provide you with you very own platform for a few $$$. We thought it would be a good time to more actively update the community on progress and the efforts of the various pioneers through social media.

Some Updates

It has been a while since I last added a news item. The Rhino project has still been moving along at a steady albeit slow (part time) effort. The first version of Rhino had a few minor bugs which we fixed in version 1.

Borph/Linux

We have finally finish setting to work the full Rhino board with a port of Borph Linux. BORPH is an operating system designed for FPGA-based reconfigurable computers, implemented as an extension of the Linux kernel.

Great Progress!

Simon and Bruce have been busy setting to work the Rhino platform and making excellent progress. Last night we had the first successful communications between the two CX4 ports at full throttle.

Rhino is alive!

It was tight, but we made it; our first 4 prototypes have arrived and Simon is busy setting them to work. Thanks to everyone that helped! Current testing focus is on the processor subsystem.
