we finally tagged wr-switch-sw-v4.0-rc1 and made an official release.
What is it?
- wr-switch-sw
It is the package for the complete “firmware” that runs in a white
rabbit switch. It includes all the ARM software in source form, the
LM32 binary for the PLL code built from source in wrpc-sw, the
complete gateware for the switch, built from other ohwr repositories.

We received the following message from DESY who has a test setup for the HiSCORE-Tunka experiment:
??
Btw, Greetings from Siberia:
our 9 WR-field stations doing an excellent job!
First physics calibrations, sending a light beam over hundreds of meters
to our station grid (0.3x0.3km2 grid).
WR clocks look excellent.

More info about their setup can be found under DESY at the White Rabbit

page.
FMC DTX 4CHA
Testing of the output functions of prototypes completed
Outputs have been tested by running a manchester encoded signal through the individual outputs and they have been succesfully decoded by a standard decoder module.
Different output frequencies have been tested succesfully as well. LEDs behave as expected.

The White Rabbit PTP Core v2.1 release is out
This is the first official release with PPSI as the WR PTP engine. The release is indicated with wrpc-v2.1 git tag inside wr-cores and wrpc-sw repositories.
With the release we provide: documentation on how to build and run the core, complete source code tarball and the binaries ready to be downloaded into the FPGA.

18-12-13: Labview drivers for SPEXI and SPEC
The company INCAA has written Labview drivers for the FMC
DEL 1ns 4cha and
FMC TDC 1ns 5cha mezzanine
cards. These drivers work both for the PCIe-based SPEC
carrier and PXIe-based SPEXI
carrier board.
The source code of the drivers is
available under the GPL license.
