Dear forum,
many open source projects which deal with EEG ECG or even neuronal single unit activity (open-ephys.org) somehow have decided to use nice analog to digital frontend chips (e.g. intantech.com) in combination with FPGA development boards which offer 1) a nice development environment 2) good documentation 3) and linux support, as it just seems to be the most straightforward way to go when attempting an opensource project.
I know TI usually doesn't spend too much effort on Linux support, but I wonder if slowly the time comes that things will change?
I am highly tempted to pursue a similar approach as the open-ephys initative sucessfully did with the the ADS1299, obviously with much lower performance due to the ADS1299 itself , compared to the intan chips, however at a much lower price, aiming for a total different group of users:
Those who want to conduct low-channel count experiments with up to 4 tetrodes ( 4x4 electrodes, two daisy chained ADS1299) with custom built electodes.
The question I have now - does anybody have sucessfully integrated the ADS1299 and the EVM within a Linux environment?
Thank you.
Best,
Andreas
