A simple 4-lane PCIe carrier for a FPGA Mezzanine Card (VITA 57). It supports the White Rabbit timing and control network. More info at the Wiki page

High-resolution frequency/phase-microstepper for timing laboratories. More info at the Wiki page

A White Rabbit compliant Network Interface Card (NIC) based on the SPEC and the DIO FMC. This project hosts the HDL and associated software to configure the SPEC so it behaves as a NIC under the Linux OS.

Libre-FDATool is a Python package aimed at helping in the analysis and design of HDL filters from high-level specifications. This Free/Libre Open Source software supports both VHDL and Verilog code generation and relies on a collection of Free scientific and EDA tools for providing advanced features -- simulation, graphics, debugging, etc.

In order to overcome the problems often related with deploying open design toolchains from the ground up across different host environments, Libre-FDATool and the associated third-party tools are alternatively distributed in a customized GNU/Linux virtual machine image. This virtualized solution is ready to use right out of the box and can be easily deployed by only using free software in any mainstream Operating System (GNU/Linux, Windows, OS-X, Solaris).

Couples a MAROC ASIC (64 channels each with a fixed threshold discriminator and a slow shaper + sample-and-hold + 12-bit ADC) to a FPGA. Read-out by Gigabit Ethernet (firmware supplied supports IPBus). Multiple boards can be plugged together to increase the channel count. Clocking circuitry compatible with the White Rabbit implementation of PTP. More info at the Wiki page

Project containing information about how to calibrate White Rabbit gear. See also https://www.ohwr.org/project/white-rabbit/wikis/Calibration More info at the Wiki page

A cute-wr is a compact WR-node implementation with minimum components required. The initial design is derived from SPEC, but would work in an opposite manner as a FMC wr-nic, providing 2 DIO channels, external CLK input, EEPROM, JTAG, RS232, and expandable IOs through FMC connector. The gateware and software of cute-wr would also keep maximum compatibility with SPEC. Project is obsolete. See cute-wr-dp for a similar board.

Production and functional tests for Conv TTL Blocking. More info at the Wiki page

Mock Turtle is an HDL core of a generic control system node, based on a deterministic multicore CPU architecture. Mock Turtle can use White Rabbit as the means of communication and synchronization in a distributed system. 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

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

Compact Universal Timing Endpoint Based on White Rabbit with Xilinx Artix7. Follow-up of the CUTE-WR-DP. More info at the Wiki page

A VME rear transition module providing fibre-optic and electrical (RS485) inputs and outputs. Uses the CONV-TTL-RS485 as front-module. More info at the Wiki page

A software suite written in Python to help with production tests of PCBs. AKA PTS.

%(red)This pts-base project is used to re-organise the current pts project In the future this project will replace the existing pts project.

Multi-channel Time Interval Counter and fine delay generator. Housed in a 19" module. Research project. More info at the Wiki page

High performance pulse and frequency distribution amplifier for time and frequency metrology. The pulse distribution board is an 1:8-channel (1 Hz and up) logic-level distribution amplifier, while the frequency distribution board is an 1:8-channel sine-wave (1-30 MHz) distribution amplifier. Two 1:8 boards fit side-by-sides in a 1U 19" rack enclosure, with either BNC or SMA connectors.
