Official bladeRF forum

I have a very early bladeRF (Kickstarter) with **15** instead of **40** or **115** in the part number.

Where is the .rbf for it? I'd like to get it running again.

Wow, that's one really old board. How did you get it? Did you back the project? If so, you should have received a normal one.

As for your original question, unfortunately, I don't even think I still have the pinout for that FPGA on that board. The current build system in github could work for you but we'd have to find the pinout for a new top level.

Heh!

Yes, I backed the project on Kickstarter as a "Developer" ($800). I got a brief opportunity to experiment, and made some progress, and put in my 2 cents. I then got interrupted by work. I did not receive another board. I'm only now able to get back into bladeRF. I'm implementing a project for AMSAT, and we're looking at bladeRFs.

The transition to the new FPGA does seem to have cut this particular board out of the tree? I see the check-in in github where the FPGA changed to **40** and **115**, but recreating the toolchain and producing a bitstream for the code in the last applicable checkout this evening has been... quite unsuccessful. Entertaining, but unsuccessful.

What do you recommend I do next?

Well, if you didn't receive another board then I think we should send you the one you're owed.

Send me a private message and we'll try to get this sorted out?
