This version of the driver has been developed to run with
the FPGA binaries included in the package as:
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{binaries/svec-fine-delay.bin} for the SVEC (VME64x) carrier,
@item @code{binaries/spec-fine-delay.bin} for the SPEC (PCI-Express) carrier.
@end itemize
@c Earlier versions required to load a @i{wrc} (White Rabbit Core) program
@c that runs in the internal LM32 soft core, but with this version this
@c step is not required (the program is already part of the FPGA binary).
@c However, if you want to replace it, the default name to use
@c is @code{fine-delay-wrc.bin}. @b{Note}: this specific version of
@c the driver does not support loading the LM32 program separately.
@c This can also be downloaded
@c from the @i{Files} tab of the hardware project:
@c @code{http://www.ohwr.org/projects/fmc-delay-1ns-8cha/files} (direct
@c link:
@c @code{http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/download/1179/spec_top.bin}.
If the gateware is updated, I'll take care to always include in this
package the exact binary the software is developed and verified
against.
While previous versions of this package included a gateware binary
in the @t{binaries/} subdirectory, in JAn 2014 we decided not to do
there any more. Release versions of this package are expected to
point to ``current'' gateware images for different carriers.
Clearly the driver is expected to work on any @sc{fmc} carrier,
even those ignored to us, and we can't provide all binaries.
As I write this, the gateware binary for the @sc{spec} card is
available from the @i{files} tab of the @sc{ohwr} hardware project:
@t{fmc-delay-1ns-8cha}. The file name is @i{spec-fine-delay-20140117.bin}
and the direct link is @url{http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/download/2621/spec-fine-delay-20140117.bin}.
