25-04-2012: SPEC boards running in Siberia!

First field tests of two SPEC boards running a White Rabbit timing link between them have been made in Siberia. These tests are made by DESY to verify the usability of the board at the Gamma-Ray and Cosmic-Ray experiment HiSCORE-EA at the Tunka site.

15 V3 boards built

A small series of the Fine Delay module board has been built to be used in tests for CNGS to help in measuring precisely the speed of neutrinos. One board will be reserved to be used in a prototype setup for the LHC kicker magnets.

PPSi

PPTP is dead, long live PPSi

The pptp name is already taken, and at least one our potential user will run both our daemon and the other pptp in the same system. So the project is renamed to “PTP Ported to Silicon”

EtherBone Core

EtherBone goes BETA

As shown at the WhiteRabbit Workshop, we now have running Hard- and Software implementations. The EtherBone HDL core provides a slave module to go with the WR PTP core, while the API is flexible in its role and platform independent.

02-03-2012: review of V4 held

A schematics and PCB review had been held for the V4 of the fine delay FMC module. During the review we made suggestions that improve the reliability of the board and will make it more safe to use when no terminations are used on the output signals.
