Designing an SDR with the Epiphany chip

[rsundar1987]

Hi everybody,

I am designing a Software Defined Radio for my final year engineering project and I am very interested in the use of the Epiphany co-processor for certain operations in the signal processing chain. I am already experimenting with the Epiphany-III on the Parallella for this purpose. But I have a few questions about the Epiphany processor which would greatly assist the further usage of the Epiphany on my SDR:

I) Is the Epiphany-III chip alone available at Digikey/mouser or any other distributor?

II) is there a 64 core processor? I read a technical report from Ericsson which used the 64 core Epiphany?

III) What is TDP of the 16-core processor?

Thanks
