WARPLab is a framework for rapid PHY prototyping with MATLAB and WARP hardware. The latest version, WARPLab 7, is a complete rewrite of the original WARPLab framework.

== What's New? ==

WARPLab 7 makes many significant improvements over previous WARPLab releases:
 * New object-oriented m-code framework
  * Segmented code for subsystems (baseband, RF interfaces, network I/O)
  * Built-in support for iterating over nodes and RF interfaces
  * Much cleaner scripts when dealing with multiple nodes and interfaces
  * Easy upgrades by separating some user extensions from core reference design
 * Packet "sniffing" logic
  * Captures trigger packets in FPGA fabric
  * 10x reduction in node-to-node jitter in starting Tx/Rx cycles
  * Tx/Rx cycles start ~12usec sooner
 * Support for jumbo Ethernet frames up to 9014 bytes long, resulting in a [wiki:WARPLab7/Benchmarks#JumboFrames significant performance increase].
 * Cross-platform (tested on Windows and Mac OSX) 
 * Default buffers now 2^15^ (32k) samples (800usec duration per Tx/Rx cycle)
 * Built in latest Xilinx tools (ISE 14.4)
  * AXI bus architecture on WARP v3
