STREAM

STREAM board fitted with a Myriad-RF 1 module

STREAM is a flexible platform for developing high-performance digital and RF designs using an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA and Lime Microsystems FPRF transceiver.

The original STREAM board incorporates SDRAM, Micro SD storage and a selection of other useful peripherals, with expansion via RFDIO and FMC mezzanine cards enabling use with both LMS6002-based Myriad-RF 1 and UNITE LMS7002M EVB RF modules.

uSTREAM is a low cost variant that incorporates a uRFDIO connector, enabling use with the uMyriadRF-6002 and uMyriadRF-7002 RF modules.

For more details about compatible Myriad-RF transceiver modules, see the Reference Development Kit.

Questions

How big is the USTREAM PCB?

It measures 122.6 × 45.8 mm and has 12 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USTREAM use?

491 parts, built around the EP4CE10F17C8N, LP5900SD-1.8, LP5900SD-3.3 and TS4148. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the USTREAM KiCad files?

From the myriadrf/STREAM repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/uSTREAM/v2/KiCAD/uSTREAM.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USTREAM design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask myriadrf before reusing the design.
