Running simple SPEC-to-SPEC White Rabbit demo
What is needed ?
To test basic White Rabbit synchronization you would need:
- two SPEC boards;
- a pair of SFP transceivers (AXCEN AXGE-1254-0531 and AXCEN
AXGE-3454-0531 are
recommended); - two Digital IO FMC (DIO) boards;
- a roll of G652, single mode fiber.
Note: All those components can be bought as a White Rabbit Kit from Seven Solutions
Step-by-step to get your boards synchronized
1. Plug one DIO FMC board to each of your SPECs.
2. Plug the blue SFP transceiver (AXGE-1254-0531) to the SPEC board which will be later configured as WR Master.
3. Plug the violet SFP transceiver (AXGE-3454-0531) to the SPEC board which will be later configured as WR Slave.

1. Get the release binaries of the White Rabbit PTP Core (WRPC):
binaries:https://www.ohwr.org/project/wr-cores/uploads/4d7347a4e27af04a01034456e08536a1/wrpc-v2.0_binaries.tar.gz
and please follow the instructions in official WRPC
documentation on how to download
them to the FPGA and make a basic configuration.
