Development of software for the White Rabbit switch, and in particular the embedded Linux system running in the ARM9 processor. More info at the Wiki page

BabyWR is a general purpose small pluggable WR node in a M.2 form-factor. More info at the Wiki page

This project contains all the HDL gateware necessary for the FPGA of the WR switch.

White Rabbit PTP Core software for LatticeMico32. It consists of a software wrapper for running a PTP daemon without an operating system and device drivers for WRPC HDL internals.

This project covers the hardware development of version 4 of the White Rabbit switch (WRS-v4). More info at the Wiki page

White Rabbit is a fully deterministic Ethernet-based network for general purpose data transfer and synchronization. It can synchronize over 1000 nodes with sub-ns accuracy over fiber lengths of up to 10 km. Commercially available. More info at the Wiki page

A collection of cores needed in the White Rabbit node and switch. Includes White Rabbit PTP Core (WRPC).

The Macbeth (MAChine / BEamline Timing Hardware) system is aimed to synchronize the beamlines experimental devices (pump-probe, laser, …) with the accelerator beam with a high accuracy

The PandABox II Project is a collaboration between ALBA, DESY, DIAMOND, MAXIV, and SOLEIL, to enhance the existing “Position and Acquisition” processing platform called PandABox II. It will provide a New processor Zynq Ultrascale, more configurable I/O, more SFP, and supporting multiple encoder standards (incremental, SSI, BISS...). It will deliver synchronous triggering and data capture capabilities.

A meta project used to discuss and present information about Open Hardware and related subjects. More info at the Wiki page More info about the CERN Open Hardware licence More info about the OHR.org site support

FMC LPC card with two High Voltage (HV) outputs and one Low Voltage (5-10V) output. Has mV voltage sensing and mA current sensing capabilities. More info at the Wiki page

A fine delay generator in FMC LPC format with 1 input and 2 outputs. The resolution is 1 ns. Optimized for high frequency pulse repetition rates synchronized to an external clock. More info at the Wiki page

Tool for generating multi-purpose makefiles for FPGA projects.

Main features:

makefile generation for: fetching modules from repositories simulating HDL projects synthesizing HDL projects synthesizing projects remotely (keeping your local resources free) generating multi-vendor project files (no clicking in the IDE!) many other things without involving make and makefiles

Hdlmake supports modularity, scalability, revision control systems. Hdlmake can be run on any Linux or Windows machine with any HDL More info at the Wiki page

Idrogen is an Arria10 FPGA board with FMC mezzanine.

PCB design is performed by IJCLab / CNRS-IN2P3. Firmware is developed by Observatoire Radioastronomique de Nançay (ORN) / Observatoire de Paris/ CNRS-INSU
