Description

Implement decimation and interpolation on the Cortex-M4 to support sample rates lower than 8 Msps over USB. It probably isn't practical to support arbitrary decimation/interpolation rates, but half, quarter, etc. should be possible. A rudimentary implementation without any digital filtering would be useful down to 2 Msps in conjunction with the MAX2837's baseband filter, but we'll probably want to try implementing digital filtering in the long run.

Research direction

Start by locating the Cortex-M4 firmware path that controls sample rates and the USB data path, then inspect how the MAX2837 baseband filter is currently used. Define support for practical rates such as half and quarter rate, including the rudimentary unfiltered path down to 2 Msps; digital filtering is a longer-term consideration.
