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.

Production and functional tests for FMC TDC 1ns 5cha.

A USB controlled switch box with 1 to 4 switching. Can send out a reference voltage. Multiple configurations possible. Used for the calibration of ADC, TDC and Fine delay mezzanines. 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

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

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

Firmware(gateware) for FPGA on AIDA-Innova TLU ( AIDAInnova_TLU )

FmcDIO5chTTLa is a 5-bit port digital IO card in FMC form-factor. Each single-bit port can be configured individually as input or output. The I/Os on LEMO 00 connectors are TTL compatible. Commercially available. More info at the Wiki page

White Rabbit Trigger Distribution project. More info at the Wiki page

Corelib - Project to share generic HDL cores.

wbgen2 is a tool for generating VHDL/Verilog cores which implement Wishbone bus slaves with certain registers, memory blocks, FIFOs and interrupts. The input is a C-like syntax file with an abstract description of what do we want to have in the slave. As a result, we get:

- Automatically allocated memory layout

- VHDL/Verilog code for the slave module

- C header files for driver development - Nice HTML documentation

A VHDL core for a VME64x slave. The other side behaves like a Wishbone master.

This project defines data structures, to be embedded in the FPGA memory address space, to enumerate the devices that have been synthetized in the current design. The same structure is also used as a simple flash file system. AKA Self-Describing Bus (SDB) Specification for Logic Cores. The layout is simple enough to be parsed both by the host and by the internal soft-core, if any.

The documentation is public, and related code is GNU GPL licensed.

Software support for the SPEC board, including kernel and user-space Linux code. The package also include the fmc-bus driver, which is expected to be used by other carriers as well.

A software framework for Linux device drivers aimed at supporting controls and data acquisition hardware. ZIO supports sub-nanosecond timestamps, block-oriented input and output and transport of meta-data with the data samples. Users can change the buffer type and trigger type associated with a device at run time, and all of devices, triggers and buffers are easily implemented as add-on modules.

The PF_ZIO implementation, currently in beta status, implements a network interface to the ZIO transport, which allows each I/O channel to generate or receive network frames. Applications see the network of devices and can talk with several of them from the same socket. We support SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_RAW.

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.

This project covers all efforts geared to standardize White Rabbit, with a view to providing a stable specification which everyone can use to build compliant products.

The GSI Timing Starter Kit is a functional snapshot of the eventual FAIR timing system, which is under active development. It demonstrates real-time coordination of two front-end equipment controllers. The product consists of a data master (Linux PC) which coordinates events, a timing master which synchronizes clocks (White Rabbit switch), and two front-end equipment controllers (either SPECv4 or SCUv2).

Software for Beam Position Monitor, including digital signal processing chains, data acquisition engines, ADC and analog front-end peripherals control/monitoring, timing and control system interface.

The FMC bus abstraction implements a Linux kernel bus named fmc. This allows to deal with FMC mezzanines in a carrier-independent way
