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.

The open-source HEV ventilator implements the modes PC-A/C, PC-A/C-PRVC, PC-PSV and CPAP More info at the Wiki page

Open Breath lung ventilator. It is developed to be low-cost, scalable and easily manufactured. It can be used in Pressure and Volume Control, SIMV+PS and CPAP functions. More info at the Wiki page

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

A carrier for two low pin count FPGA Mezzanine Cards (VITA 57), analog inputs and fail-safe functionality. It has memory and clocking resources and supports the White Rabbit timing and control network. Stand-alone board for use in a 'pizza-box'. More info at the Wiki page

A Precise Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) software stack whose single source code can be compiled for many architectures (POSIX systems, WR switch, WR node, ...) and which is easily extensible.

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

This is a PCB-design + Arduino firmware for an Ethernet-controlled 1:8 RF-multiplexer. It allows selecting as output one of eight input-channels, as commonly used e.g. in timing-laboratories when one wants to measure many RF-sources (clock outputs like 1PPS or 10MHz) with a single instrument (frequency or time-interval counter). The design is for two independent MUX-boards to fit in a 1U 19” rack enclosure. For more information, see the wiki

This project contains gateware for the Distributed IO Tier demonstrator according to the CERN Warm Interlocks specification

PHASE (Portable Hardware Analyzer with Sharing Explorer) aims at unifying hardware debugging in a single tool. From the host machine, a user may graphically interconnect components to describe the connection between his computer and the target device to debug. For example, a USB JTAG cable might be the root node, connected to an Arria2 development board with a CPLD and an FPGA, containing a LM32 processor.

Wherever possible, PHASE fetches design descriptions from the internet based on the detected JTAG IDCODEs, USB vendor IDs, or PnP BUS information. In the preceding example, each step of the chain would be automatically detected. The USB cable from the vendor+product codes, the FPGA from the JTAG IDCODE and the LM32 from the Arria2's sld hub. The user would now be presented with read/write access to the data and instruction buses for visual inspection or firmware loading. Furthermore, the user could launch gdb to halt and single-step the embedded LM32 CPU.

If a device is not yet described, the user may assemble a driver out of the reusable software components. For example, an Altera USB-Blaster driver is just a FTDI device chained with a byte packeter and a JTAG bit banger. Once the design has been graphically assembled, it is automatically scanned for attached JTAG devices and the USB cable design is shared online with any future users of the same cable.

A fully open electronic watch project featuring an integrated GPS receiver. More info at the Wiki page

Data centre environmental sensor - Dust, Temperature, Relative Humidity, Fan - Serial 1 channel - version 1. An environmental sensor for Data Centers that continuously measures airborne particle density in high airflow as well as temperature and relative humidity. It can control its fan speed if needed (PWM controlled fans) and monitors FAN rotational speed (tachometer equipped fans) for precise airflow control and monitoring. It is close to maintenance free and can be integrated in compact enclosures (for example tape drive tray or even an ATX PSU case...). More info at the Wiki page

The nanoFIP test board is used to test the functionality of the nanoFIP design. Apart from the nanoFIP chip, the FielDrive and the FieldTR it houses another Actel FPGA that can access nanoFIP in stand-alone or in memory mode. This FPGA can also communicate through a RS232 port with a windows PC running the NFTC software. The components on the board are placed in such a way that with a focused beam, radiation tests can be performed to the nanoFIP, FielDrive and FieldTR, leaving the rest if the components in a radiation-safe zone. The card has been designed by the company HLP.

TiCkS is a flexible White Rabbit based time-stamping board. It is based on the SPEC board developed for the CTA collaboration. It provides an interface to a CTA camera (Inputs: Read-out Trigger signals, Busy Trigger), (Outputs: PPS signal , 10MHz clock, External trigger signal).

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.

PCIe to VME bridge. More info at the Wiki page

A fully operational stand-alone FMC Delay card based White-Rabbit node which can be initialized and perform periodic calibrations without requiring to be plugged on a PC, reducing final system cost, size and power consumption. More info at the Wiki page

MMC firmware written in C, running on a microcontroller inside the board. Written first for the AFC boards. This firmware is thought to be generic enough so other AMC boards could reuse a large part of it. For now, the only "port" is for the LPC1764 chip, but more are planned.

LIBSFP is a software library that contains generic functions to access SFP devices via I2C.
