How can I tell if my NanoVNA v2.2 has a FPU?

Thanks Mike N2MS

Go to version screen and at bottom see text
Has FPU: yes/no

It's easy --> CONFIG--->VERSION

Has FPU: yes OR Has FPU:no

My V2.2 SAA-2N does not show a FPU. Shall I use use firmware V2 480x320 grid noFPU ?

You can use noFPU version in all cases (and change it if need later)

Thanks,

I loaded the V2 480x320 grid noFPU firmware unto my SAA-2N over Ojisankoubou firmware. The version now shows it has a FRU so I loaded V2 480x320 grip firmware.

I noticed you changed the DPU key to BOOTLOAD,

Thanks for the new firmware. I will be experimenting with this code.

on your screenshot it says has fpu : yes

The Ojisankoubou firmware I had on the SAA-2N did not show the FPU state.

I tested the fpu and nofpu versions and can not see any difference in
responsiveness or sweep speed, so I suggest all builds should be nofpu
just like the official firmware. None of the DSP code uses floating
point (the accuracy would be worse compared to 32 bit integer math).

It has been impossible for anyone to get GD32F303 with new datecodes for
quite a while now so there is no way to guarantee FPU support, but since
FPU seems to give no improvement in performance I think it should just
be turned off always.

Greetings Gabriel, is there another variation on the bridge setup to increase the dynamic range?

OK, guys. Forgive an old fossil analog and RF type dealing with all the
'new' acronyms. What is an FPU (Fast Processor Unit, or a few other less
polite phrases)?

Hello Dave!
FPU = I think, Floating Point Unit or?
Vladimir

FPU (Floating Point Unit) - a unit that performs floating point operations (often said as a comma) or a mathematical coprocessor. FPU helps the main processor to perform mathematical operations on real numbers. At first, it was used as an option, as an additional processor.

OK. I well remember the days of an additional math co-processor. Thank
you.

Flouting Point Unit, a mathematically oriented processor that gives more decimals in the calculations to the cost of speed.
