STREAM Development Board and STREAM-UCWP

Lime Microsystems' STREAM development board provides a hardware platform for developing and prototyping high-performance and logic-intensive digital and RF designs using Altera's Cyclone IV FPGA and Lime Microsystems transceiver. The board provides a wide range of peripherals and memory interfaces to connect to Lime's current offering of transceiver evaluation boards and open source MyriadRF boards.

The STREAM-UWCP is also available, which combines a STREAM development board with a UNITE7002 design kit. The STREAM and UNITE7002 design kit comes with Lime7Suite software, which enables the control of the LMS7002M transceiver, run the "FFTviewer" to analyze the ADC spectrum and load wanted waveforms to FPGA.
