What do you want to do?

WARP is used to study a variety of different research areas. The first steps to getting started using WARP depend on what you want to do.

I Want to Study the Physical Layer

The FPGA on WARP provides the resources to implement a full, real-time physical layer. Typically, a physical layer is implemented as a periphal core (pcore) that attaches to a microprocessor core that executes C-code to control it. This C-code can, for example, implement a wireless MAC. We have provided two exercises that demonstrate how to control WARP from a microprocessor and how export a custom peripheral from Xiling System Generator.
