    12  2. Download the WARPLab Reference M-code to your PC. The instructions are available [wiki:edk_user_repository here]. In the final step you can choose the appropriate version to add to the path. For example, to add Version 6.3 of the Reference M-Code the path is 'C:\WARP_Repository\ResearchApps\PHY\WARPLAB\WARPLab_v06_3\M_Code_Reference'. Information about the latest version of the WARPLab reference M-Code can be found [wiki:WARPLab/Changelog here].

    22  6. Download the WARPLab bitstream to both boards. The latest WARPLab bitstream is available [wiki:WARPLab/Releases here]. The bitstream can be downloaded either via an external JTAG cable, via a USB cable (connected to the FPGA board's USB port) or a CompactFlash/SD card. Instructions on formatting and loading systems on to a Compact Flash are available [wiki:sysace/formatload#FormattingandLoadingSystemsontoaCompactFlash here]. Instructions for loading systems on to an SD card are available [wiki:howto/SD_Config here]. After downloading the bitstreams, the hex display on the WARP board should show a single digit 1 for the board with DIP switch set to zero and a single digit 2 for the board with DIP switch set to one. This digit is the last octet of the board's IP address (10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2). You should be able to ping the boards from your host PC after they are configured.
