Would be nice to cover everything - from rPI-connected USB scopes (or even SPI ADC), cheap Spartan3+40Msps_ADC+some_ARM till hi-performance Zynq with all the bells and whistles. I think with careful system & HAL design/layering it could be achievable. |

The only thing done on the CPU is display the data and interface same as every Oscilloscope. --- End quote --- Then you are already a step behind Keysight's almost 10 year old ASIC used in their entry level scopes, the ASIC does the screen plotting: |

There is always the option for a reference hardware platform or use a different crowd funding platform. The plan -if there is any- hasn't gotten to that point yet but it is something to keep in mind. |
