It says it’s open source but I can’t find a link to a repository. Am I missing something?

    the licensing of the software/firmware/hardware is shown at https://moonrf.com/updates/#faq https://moonrf.com/updates/#faq

      unfortunately the FPGA verilog source code isn't open source.. and I can't see any RF block diagram in the website Some more questions because the website isn't clear: - does the FPGA handle digital beamforming in the FPGA fabric? or it controls RF phase shifters for analog beamforming? - will we have access to FPGA pin constraint file so we can write our own verilog - can I get IQ samples from the antenna elements and run my own beamforming algorithm / calibration in a separate PC with possible GPU acceleration? or it will be bottlenecked by rpi5 gigabit ethernet?

        Yes the FPGA does digital beamforming and there will be published FPGA pin constraint files so you can write your own Verilog. For IQ samples, you can stream a continuous 60 MSPS IQ beam over the Ethernet, but for custom beamforming algorithms, the processing needs to be distributed across the FPGAs (for MoonRF it is a SERDES daisy chain, using the same FFC connectors as the links to the RPi-5). Yes I'll put some newer block diagrams on the website this week. Thanks for the reminder.

          Sounds good! Hopefully i can buy one and play around with it
