[Discuss-gnuradio] Interfacing Spartan-3AN FPGA starter kit with BasicRX

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
        I have a Xilinx Spartan-3AN FPGA starter kit and I would like to 
interface it with a BasicRX.

It has a 

- 2 channel SPI-based ADC with programmable gain,
- 4 channel SPI-based DAC

Page 75 of the user manual describes the Analog capture circuit - 
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/ug334.pdf.

The starter kit has an onboard ADC circuit with a LinearTech 14-bit 3Msps ADC. 
http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/14071fb.pdf

Would this onboard ADC be sufficient to implement an FM Radio receiver with GNU 
Radio? I've already taken a look at the USRP2 + BasicRX combo, but I would like 
to know if I can somehow use the Spartan-3AN startket kit to achieve the same 
results.

Best regards,

Elvis
