STREAM

STREAM is a flexible platform for developing high-performance digital and RF designs using an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA and Lime Microsystems FPRF transceiver.

The original STREAM board incorporates SDRAM, Micro SD storage and a selection of other useful peripherals, with expansion via RFDIO and FMC mezzanine cards enabling use with both LMS6002-based Myriad-RF 1 and UNITE LMS7002M EVB RF modules.

uSTREAM is a low cost variant that incorporates a uRFDIO connector, enabling use with the uMyriadRF-6002 and uMyriadRF-7002 RF modules.

For more details about compatible Myriad-RF transceiver modules, see the Reference Development Kit.
