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

White Rabbit Trigger Distribution project. 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 VHDL core for a VME64x slave. The other side behaves like a Wishbone master.

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

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.

SAMD21-based monitoring module for DI/OT power supply and fan tray.

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.

Gateware (HDL design) for FMC ADC 400k 18b 4cha iso on SPEC and SVEC carriers.

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

Configuration and boot software required to start up the SPEC7 board

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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).
