WRXI - White Rabbit eXtensions for Instrumentation
Project description
The aim of this project is to define and implement a standardized communication protocol for instrumentation over a white-rabbit network, which will allow:
- precise synchronization and timestamping
- remote control and test sequence programming
- message exchanging and event distribution
- data acquisition and aggregation
- ...
The OHWR already includes several WR-enabled projects (eg. fmc-dac-600m-12b-1cha-dds,, fmc-tdc and fmc-delay-1ns-8cha mezzanine cards installed on spec and/or svec carrier boards).
Furthermore, work is currently underway to add WR support to FMC ADC 100M 14b 4cha to the fmc-adc-100m14b4cha ADC mezzanine.
An important goal for this project is to design the WRXI protocol in an application-agnostic way, so that it can be adopted and re-used by other individuals, academic organizations and industrial/commercial entities.
