Maia SDR is an open-source FPGA-based SDR project focusing on the ADALM Pluto.
It currently provides a firmware image for the Pluto with the following functionality:
- Web-based interface that can be accessed from a smartphone, PC or other device.
- Real-time waterfall display supporting up to 61.44 Msps (limit given by the AD936x RFIC of the Pluto).
- IQ recording in SigMF format, at up to 61.44 Msps and with a 400 MiB maximum data size (limit given by the Pluto RAM size). Recordings can be downloaded to a smartphone or other device.
See maia-sdr.org for more details.
Firmware images for the ADALM Pluto can be found in the plutosdr-fw repository. See also the installation instructions.
Support for Maia SDR is handled through Github issues and Github discussions.
The project is divided into the following components:
- maia-hdl. The FPGA design. It is written in Amaranth. It can be used to build the Vivado project and bitstream for Maia SDR or as a library in other projects.
- maia-httpd. The software application that runs on the Zynq ARM CPU. It is written in asynchronous Rust and spawns a web server.
- maia-kmod. A kernel module used to control some RAM buffers that are used to exchange data between the FPGA and CPU.
- maia-wasm. A web application that is the UI of Maia SDR. IT is written in Rust with WebAssembly and uses WebGL2 to render the waterfall.
