Background

This binary executable will allow you to install the current WARP EDK (including the board files), the WARP OPB Export Tool for System Generator, and the WARP Sysgen2OPB conversion script and toolbox for MATLAB. These repositories also come Subversion ready, meaning that you may install an application such as TortoiseSVN, and with a simple right-click, update the repositories to their latest versions.

This project is aimed towards creating a compact means of distributing and installing our support packages. The installer has been built using an open-source scripting language/compiler called NSIS created by Nullsoft (those pesky Llamas...). The installer has several purposes.

  • To provide an easy and efficient means of installing WARP's EDK on multiple machines
  • To provide additional open-source tools useful for building/running/debugging WARP
  • To promote others to compose their own WARP installation applications to distribute and promote their research with the rest of the community

Current Contents

  • WARP EDK (including board files for Xilinx Platform Studio)
  • WARP OPB Export Tool for MATLAB System Generator
  • WARP Sysgen2Opb Toolbox and System Generator Blockset.

Current Dev

  • Reference Designs
  • User Guides

Building Your Own Installation

The Project files for this installer will be posted soon.

Nullsoft's NSIS compiler and downloadable package is available via Sourceforge HERE. The NSIS downloadable package contains pretty decent documentation and some good reference designs. A useful site for reference is Nullsoft's NSIS Discussion Forum and Developer Center.
