20-12-2010: nFIPDIAG
Using the DAT_I and DAT_O pins of the test board and with nanoFIP in stand-alone mode, we have managed to create a nanoFIPDIAG running with the standard software. After more than 3 complete days in the same segment with a cryo crate, we have seen no errors!

19-10-2010: nanoFIP chip working
The design of the nanoFIP chip is working. Tests are progressing very smoothly thanks to the extensive simulation models written by G. Penacoba. The actual hardware is tested on the NanoFIP test board that talks to other equipment in CERN’s WorldFIP laboratory that is run by J.

17-06-2010: Simulation work started
Simulation work (WP6) has started to debug the NanoFIP design. The testbench is written by an independent person from the author of the CernFIP code. Already some flaws were found in CRC calculations and some issues that are not clear in the manual were spotted.
