This project demonstrated that AD936X chip can combine with low-cost ZYNQ FPGA development boards, especially PYNQ-Z1, and run openwifi without problem. This can potentially become an extremely low-cost openwifi platform. And with extensions removed, you still have a PYNQ capable of any other serious ZYNQ projects.

Going beyond PYNQ-Z1, this extension board can also combine with other hardware by easy 2-layer conversion board and provide even lower-cost platforms.

pynqsdr's Issues

Does this work for pluto adr?

Reading your Readme it sounds like you just used the plutosdr image. Can thus work on the plutosdr? Let me know. Thank you.
