| | 3 | 1. Install Peter Rydesäter's open-source TCP/UDP toolbox for MATLAB (get it free from [http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=345 MATLAB Central]). |
| | 4 | 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 5 of the Reference M-Code the path is 'C:\WARP_Repository\ResearchApps\PHY\WARPLAB\WARPLab_MIMO2x2_MIMO4x4_R05/M_Code_Reference'. Information about the latest version of the WARPLab reference M-Code can be found HHEERRREE. |
| | 5 | 3. Connect your PC and two WARP boards to a common Ethernet switch. Ideally, nothing else should be connected to the same switch. |
| | 6 | 4. Set your PC's IP address to 10.0.0.200 |
| | 7 | 5. Set the DIP switches on the two WARP boards to zero (0000) and one (0001) |
| | 8 | 6. Download the WARPLab bitstream to both boards. The latest WARPLab bitstream is available HEEERRREE. 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 card. Instructions on formatting and loading systems on to a Compact Flash are available [wiki:sysace/formatload#FormattingandLoadingSystemsontoaCompactFlash here]. After downloading the bitstreams, the right hex display on the WARP boards 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). |
| | 9 | 7. Try one of the examples. The GUI (warplab_mimo_2x2_GUI and the warplab_siso_example_TxRx) are the best ones to start with. The latest version of the examples is available HEERRREE |
