I succesfully demonstrated a distributed SDR at the wireless@VT symposium in June. The Efika performed pulse shaping and the interface to the USRP. Currently, my primary focus is writing my MS Thesis.

In my "spare" time, I am working on porting the MANIAC Challenge software to the Efika. (http://www.maniacchallenge.org/index.html) Currently, I m having an issue with C++ linking and libtool-1.5.24 within OpenEmebdded. When we resolve this, I should be able to create a MANIAC test node with the Efika and a mini-PCI wireless card.
