[http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu Open Source SCA Implementation::Embedded (OSSIE)] 
 * Open source SDR software based on the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) that includes rapid prototyping tools for developing waveform applications and signal processing components.
 * Follow the [http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu/?q=node/7 "Get Started"] link to user guide, labs (see below), source code, live DVDs, and VMware images.

== Lab Exercises ==
[http://ossie.wireless.vt.edu/download/labs/ OSSIE labs]:  These self-paced labs introduce SDR and SCA concepts through use of the OSSIE framework and rapid development tools.  Students learn to develop signal processing components and waveform applications including an AM receiver that uses the Ettus Research USRP (USRP-1).  Distributed waveforms are also introduced.
