Arturs and Karlis, from the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre (VIRAC) in Latvia, just finished the Uniboard firmware training, part of the BALTICS project. In this firmware training they used existing RadioHDL FPGA firmware libraries, made by the DESP group at ASTRON, to program the Uniboard. Arturs and Karlis found their way through the firmware design tasks and even enhanced the user interface with their creativity in Python and VHDL programming.
BALTICS is an educational program funded by the European Union. It is meant to share the expertise of the University of Manchester and ASTRON with the staff of the VIRAC. With this successful training result, they can continue at VIRAC, where they have 2 Uniboards already.
