The embedded computers in question are known as single board computers (SBCs)\, and ha ve become increasingly available\, capable\, and low-cost. They are the pl atform of choice for projects that require modest computing capabilities i n the do-it yourself\, maker\, and hacker communities. The past ten years have also seen an unprecedented rise in commercial off-the-shelf software- defined radio (SDR) technology. At the time of writing\, a non-exhaustive\ , crowd-sourced list of commercially available SDRs lists 84 different com mercially available models\, ranging in price from $8 to $6000. These have RF transmitting and/or receiving capabilities\, and interface with a gene ric computer that performs the signal processing. Open source tools for do ing the signal processing using SBCs are readily available. This combinati on of SBC\, SDR\, and open source software is a powerful tool for implemen tation of almost arbitrary radio and wireless communications technologies. \n\nThis talk will cover a selection of topics in commercial embedded comp uters and commercial SDR technology. A list of available\, Linux-compatibl e\, commercial SDR-compatible\, embedded computers will be presented. Comm ercial SDR products will also be presented\, and some combinations of thes e technologies will be discussed and demonstrated\, chiefly focusing on th e low-cost alternatives. Some common pitfalls in Linux and open source rad io signal processing on embedded platforms will be addressed. The general capabilities of various platforms at different price points will be discus sed in terms the tradeoffs involved.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Rajib\, \n\nAgenda : \nBefore the event:\n\nPlease RSVP by Saturday\, April 7th\, 2018 to sye d.tamseel@ieee.org if you plan to attend so we have an accurate count for lunch.
