hmm, what if i500 could also receive FM radio, I presume FM radio is way under 2GHz band?

The i500 chip is advertised can be "upgraded" to receive future LTE signals, so I guess it's some kind of SDR.

The technical specifications are probably proprietary and any development boards, if any, will probably be only for licensed developers, translation; “for those who can afford it.” To HACK this device would require sophisticated Laboratory equipment, again, it is all about money.

Hello group,

 

What do you guys think of the nVidia Tegra 4's i500 SDR?

 

 

 

Is it hackable?
