WRAP - White RAbbit Pluggable
WRAP, White RAbbit Pluggable, is a plug-in board providing easy-to-use
WR functionality.
It's a turnkey solution being able to wrap up all the functionalities of
a White Rabbit solution in a single and pluggable module.
The pluggable module is a cost effective option to integrate precise
timing in a custom system, replacing the PHY interface. WRAP provides a
standard GigabitMedia-Independent-Interface (GMII) along with timing and
time-related services (e.g. timestamping of events).
