| | 4 | == OFDM Reference Design v18.0 (2012-Aug-29) == |
| | 5 | This is our first OFDM Reference Design with support for WARP v3 hardware. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | We've slightly revised the folder structure for bundling the XPS and SDK projects. '''Please see [wiki:../SDK SDK notes] for instructions on re-creating a working SDK workspace for this design.''' |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | '''Hardware Changes''' |
| | 10 | * Ported OFDM PHY, AGC and rate change filters to Virtex-6 FPGA |
| | 11 | * Ported to new support peripherals (radio_controller, w3_ad_controller, etc.) for WARP v3 |
| | 12 | * Updated auto-correlation packet detector logic for better dynamic range through the pipeline |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | '''Software Changes''' |
| | 15 | * warpmac/warpphy are separate code bases for WARP v2 and v3 in this design. This is a temporary situation. We are planning to rework the WARPMAC framework so a common code base works across hardware versions. |
| | 16 | * Updated default thresholds in MACs, to account for new RSSI ADC on WARP v3 |

| | 18 | '''Downloads:''' |
| | 19 | * WARP v3 Hardware (Virtex-6 FPGA): [http://warp.rice.edu/dl/refdes/ofdm/v18.0/w3_OFDM_ReferenceDesign_v18p0.zip w3_OFDM_ReferenceDesign_v18p0.zip] |
| | 20 | * WARP v2 Hardware (Virtex-4 FPGA): '''Coming soon''' |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | '''Support:''' Porting the OFDM reference design to WARP v3 was a big project, and it's entirely possible we overlooked something. We welcome any feedback (preferably via [//forums the forums]). |
