I am a bit surprised about the distribution of USB-A and USB-C ports though. Neither USB type is going away any time soon, but having only one USB-C port available seems to be rather limiting. And if that USB-C port is already occupied by the power cable, you can't use it for something else.

This is just my 2c. Different people want to do different things with this device and many people might not need more than one USB-C port.

I am personally awaiting MNT Rack: 1U / 2U / 4U cases: place one or multiple MNT Stations in there, along with options for modular nvme/U.2/SSD/HDD blocks, PCI bus block for eg GPU or network cards.... but then MNT has to expand production rapidly as with a decent price lots of people will want those 🙂

The ability to keep sync traffic physically separated from uplink and downlink traffic is nice for security and simplicity.

I'm wondering if I could have a more direct FPGA to MCU to SSD flow if I built an adapter to plug a small FPGA (Artix 7 100?) with transceivers feeding directly in to the MNT-reform MCU. Maybe I could avoid FTDI and USB entirely.

Hmm... I'll have to read up on the architecture. Having open schematics opens up so many options. I love your work here. I hope corporate isn't a wet blanket.

That's a stretch goal.

For pass one, my telemetry recording box will just have a power, switch, a toggle switch and some LED's: toggle it on to start recording and watch the LED's to be sure it is happily recording. Toggle it off to stop the recording.

No display, because we don't want the complexity and we would have to deal with emissions off the screen, which risk disrupting the RF signals we are looking at.

I see you have two Kintex versions of the processor. That's very interesting to me as an dev.

I'm generally a cheap-skate, so I look at the price of those and question the value proposition for an exploratory side project with no real aim, but on the other-hand, it is still cheaper than a lot of the dev boards.

I'm also thinking I would like to build a mash-up with my Alchitry Pt based FPGA design that has a pair of coax run to the transceivers for telemetry.
