WARP APIs

Version:: Used with Reference Design v10

CHANGELOG

Reference Design 10

OPB is deprecated; every core hangs off PLB
Emac interrupts removed; polling to improve performance
Reduced Fall of TxData -> Rise of TxACK turn around time from 30 to 23 microseconds

Reference Design 9

Reduced Fall of TxData -> Rise of TxACK turn around time from 80 microseconds to 30 microseconds
Rx MAC processing is now pipelined so that processing starts upon the reception of good header information
MIMO kits can easily select which antenna to use SISO model on via pushbuttons
Tweaked timing parameters (DIFs, Contention Window) and thesholds (agc target gain)

This document is the collective API for WARPMAC (the MAC design framework), WARPPHY (the PHY driver/interface), RADIO CONTROLLER, CSMAMAC (the carrier-sensing random access reference), and the workshop MAC exercises.

Getting Started

Obtain the latest reference design: http://warp.rice.edu/trac/wiki/OFDMReferenceDesign . In addition to being in the repository, all the source code for WARPMAC is available in the reference design project and is configured to compile "as-is."
