Oscilloscope ASIC Kickstarter instead of Open scope.

You can still use an FPGA instead of a SOC for post processing if that fits better. Keysight did that in the megazoom. Although I think these days there are so many SOCs out there for media centers and such from manufacturers like Media Tek that it should be possible to find something with enough processing power for cheaper.

It really depends if you need hardware decimation though. You could really do that in DSP too. The point of the DSP is really to do any processing to the signal and save it to memory. Including deciding what needs to be saved. I listed hardware triggering and the trade offs between purely digital and a mix of hardware and digital will need to be discussed more when there is more solid information.

I am almost done a write up of the whole project along with about 20 questions for manufacturers to get a better idea of what they would like to see. They are after all the experts.

The "backers" shouldn´t have to carry a big burden. I am hoping that we can get the manufacturers, sponsors (like the EU and corporations), partners to split the costs for development. There are over 40 of them right now that have nothing over 500MHz. I am thinking the kickstarter will mainly be to make a small percentage profit on the chips in order to produce enough extras to pay for a couple wafers to sell after and sustain future production. Once the masks are made future costs will be quite low in comparison. I am would hope to raise 50-75k. If there even is a kickstarter the risk would be low with the design done and tested. And wait around 4 months.


PHP is just hell  :-DD 15 years as PHP dev will make you hate what it has become.



I just silenced Ogden I am done letting some little kid bother me.

Thank you for notice. It means I can stop wasting my time here and talk to people who actually listen.

Well that is good news; when he settles on a design he'll get the best price for the parts before 3D printing the PCB.

Boy am I glad I live in the future.
BravoV:
Just show or even brag what is the current progress, even its still really crude at early stage, instead of just ... talk.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Since the OP appears completely out of their depth and unfamiliar with the processing integrated in mid range scopes, attached is the system diagram from Rigol showing their UltraVision II platform:
