[[Image(WARPImages:infrastructure_sm.jpg, align=right, 500)]] = WARP: Wireless Open-Access Research Platform = We aim to design a highly '''capable''', '''scalable''' and '''extensible''' platform for advanced wireless research. The design elements which provide these features are integrated into a complete platform, providing the tools and resources required for research and development at all levels of wireless systems. This integration enables researchers to focus on improving one aspect of a wireless system without having to implement, or even understand, everything required to enable real-world communications. All aspects of the platform, including the custom hardware designs, platform support packages and implementations of research applications, will be available in an open-access repository. This repository is available to and welcomes contributions from all users of the platform in hope of establishing an active resource for collaboration in high performance wireless research. == WARP Repository == * [wiki:"license" Read the WARP open-access license] * [wiki:"repositoryAccess" Read more about repository access] * [source:/ Browse the repository] == Research Applications == * [wiki:OFDM OFDM Physical Layers] - Implementations of OFDM physical layers * [wiki:"SISO Automatic Gain Control"] - Implementations of SISO-AGC * [wiki:"Medium Access Control"] - Implementations of MAC layers == Platform Support Packages == * [wiki:Install The WARP EDK Installer Project] - An up-to-date binary that makes implementing/updating WARP peripherals, reference designs, and documentation a breeze. * [wiki:"WARP FPGA Board XBD"] - Board description file for Xilinx Platform Studio * [wiki:sysgen2opb sysgen2opb] - Matlab script to convert System Generator hardware co-simulation models into OPB peripherals * Custom Peripherals * [wiki:RadioController Radio Controller] - core and driver for controlling the WARP radio board * [wiki:RadioBridge Radio Bridge] - core used to interface the radio controller to the underlying hardware * [wiki:EEPROM] - core used to access the EEPROM devices located on the WARP FPGA and WARP radio boards. * [wiki:"Radio Self Test" Radio Self Test] == Reference Designs == * [wiki:"FPGA Board Test"] - Project which tests the FPGA board's peripherals and demonstrates how to use them in custom designs * [wiki:xilkernel_ref Xilkernel Reference Designs] - A collection of WARP reference projects designed to introduce the programmer to most of the functionality of the xilkernel operating system. == Documentation == * [wiki:"WARP User Guide" User Guide] - User Guide containing useful informations of subtleties pertaining to the WARP board and building projects with it in Xilinx Platform Studio. * [wiki:"FAQ" Frequently Asked Questions] == Hardware Designs == * [wiki:"FPGA Board" FPGA Board] * [wiki:"Radio Board" Radio Board] * [wiki:"Video Board" Video Board] == Papers & Presentations == * Coming Soon...
