Are I able to program the FPGA on the USRP?

I am new on USRP.

 

I want to program the fpga for OFDM modem.

 

  • Are we able to program the FPGA on the USRP B100 and B200?
  • What is the fpga on these boards , Xilinx or Altera?
  • Can I use Xilinx ISE or Altera Quartus for programming?

 

Thank you for your answers.

Hey NewOnUSRP,

 

These aren't National Instruments products, so it may be best to ask these questions on an Ettus forum. However, I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities with information found online:

 

B100: Spartan 3A-1400 FPGA, I'm not sure if this is user programmable

B200: Open and reconfigurable Spartan 6 XC6SLX75 FPGA with free Xilinx tools
