This is a collection of simple macro implementations for Microsemi's ProASIC3 FPGAs to allow simulating post-synthesis designs using GHDL.

This project focuses on performing with high precision the core WR PTP calculations in fixed-point arithmetic. This will ensure uniform input parameters, code and precision across all WR implementations.

A system to characterize large area silicon pad sensors with several hundred channels. This repository contains the microcontroller firmware.

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).

LIST is a trigger distribution system based on White Rabbit. It can receive a trigger from a “cloud” of devices and distribute it to all relevant devices to for example freeze their acquisition buffers. The latency between reception and transmission of a trigger is done with a low and notably fixed latency, with an accuracy of better than 1 ns. The hardware of the LIST nodes is based on the SVEC FMC carrier equipped with a FMC TDC mezzanine and a Fine Delay mezzanine. More info at the Wiki page

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

PCIe to VME bridge. More info at the Wiki page

A low cost, low complexity FMC carrier based on Xilinx Artix-7

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

More info can be found on this 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.

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

Production and functional tests for fmc-dac-600m-12b-1cha-dds

This library provides a generic API for ADC devices, so that applications can use this API to access any of the supported ADC boards. Currently the library supports the following boards:

fmc-adc-100m14b14cha

For testing and debugging purpose it supports also a couple of virtual boards that you can use to start the development of your application.

SDB (Self-describing Bus) allows to enumerate the cores that are live in the current FPGA binary, either from the host computer or from the internal soft-core CPU in the FPGA itself. The project provides the software support and the specification. More info at the Wiki page

A VHDL core for a PCI slave. The other side behaves like a Wishbone master.

EPICS support for Wishbone peripherals: This project consist of a Generic EPICS IOC AsynDriver to support wishbone peripheral. It include the following features:

Driver for X1052, Gennum, Etherbone WB master. Direct access to any register in the wishbone bus Auto-generation of EPICS Database file using wbgen2 Automatic real number convertion (2 complements, fixed point, signess) using .wb file Support for WR Core and other internal bus protocols (i2c, spi, etc.)
