Ok. I understand.

I suppose that before make changes in current fpga code, we should make a
decision exactly which architecture more suitable for UmTRX, N2x0 or B200?
Sergey, Josh, what do you think about this, pro and con?

Unfortunately, I can look into B200 fpga code only at friday..

Andrew Karpenkov
