[TangerineSDR] CANVAS - A FREE GRAPHICAL DSP DESIGN TOOL FOR FPGA

[Bill Liles]

Folks, this tool is for the Red Pitaya’s FPGA, but am wondering if it might
be useful to fork it for the Tangerine.

>From the Red Pitaya’s web site:

We are excited to share with you an amazing project by Pau Gómez Kabelka, a
PhD student at the Photonic Institute of Barcelona. Canvas is a free
graphical DSP (digital signal processing) design tool that requires no HDL
(hardware description language) or FPGA knowledge.

First, the user makes a DSP drawing with the graphical design tool which is
based on an add-on package for LTspice. The drawing is then sent to a
remote server where VHDL code is generated and sent back to the user.
Finally, the code is configured and loaded onto Red Pitaya STEMlab 125-14
<https://www.redpitaya.com/Catalog/p20/stemlab-125-14-starter-kit?cat=c99>'s
FPGA over SSH via ethernet connection. Canvas also allows for changing the
configuration of the DSP circuit, meaning the user can tune it in
real-time. This makes Canvas a great tool for rapid prototyping of your DSP
on Red Pitaya.

If you are looking to get started with using Canvas, you can read more
about it on Pau's website <https://www.dspsandbox.org/Canvas/>and check out
the project <https://github.com/dspsandbox/Canvas> on GitHub. There you
will find a detailed wiki <https://github.com/dspsandbox/Canvas/wiki> with
instructions for how to prepare your Red Pitaya, install Canvas on your PC,
register to the remote server, configure both LTspice and Python GUI as
well as tutorials with some example
