In the current UMTRX design, the DSP calculations themselves are running at 13 MHz. I'm only suggesting moving the VITA framer/deframer into the same clock domain as the DSP units (26MHz). The actual buffering, packet routing, fifo muxing, that sort of stuff will stay in the 104MHz clock domain (it has to be faster because of buffering/sending ethernet packets). And the CPU/ZPU/wishbone clock is independent, and really only for low speed communications -- I would simply keep this at 52 Mhz, but in fact, its clock rate isnt really critical. -josh
