Version 1.5

• updated documentation
• removed hdf5 from the build deps
• fixed file path issues in the python driver
• Added CI for *nix build in Travis and Windows builds on Appveyor

Version 1.4

libaps2-v1.4.tar.gz
libaps2-v1.4.zip
TDM-firmware-v2.0.zip
APS2-firmware-v5.0.zip

Support for TDM sequencer (v2.0)
Support for APS2 Majority Vote and TSM Decoder up to 7 rounds (v5.0)
Built with vivado 2017.4

Version 1.3.1-alpha

Features :
Migrate APS to Vivado 2017.4

Note: No longer supporting fixed-IP version of the APS2.
Please contact us if you would like a build which supports that feature

Version 1.3

Features:

• Compatibility with TDM firmware 1.0
• TDM firmware upgraded to use TCP/IP communications stack
• Generalized installer to work with conda
• Improved platform support on linux
• Compatibility with Visual Studio 2015
• Lower-latency TDM -> APS2 communications over the SATA interface (note: requires APS2 firmware v4.7 and TDM v1.1)

Fixes:

• Fix issue where APS2 communications interface dies when plugging in ethernet cable
• Fix internal/reference clock muxing in TDM firmware

Version 1.2

Features:

• Compatibility with firmware v4.4
• Faster queued interface between cache and main memory, giving more consistent
  performance
• Revised channel alignment strategy that does not require calibration for each
  bit file

Fixes:

• Removes spurious waveform cache miss indicator

Version 1.1

Features:

• consistent and stable aligned DAC outputs with firmware v4.3
• bitslipping for single sample DAC delays

Fixes:

• only program first slice once when using "all" (#83)
• graceful exit when no APS2 slices found ()
• Julia channel setter/getters fixed (#60) and removed unnecessary argument typing
• asio updates to allow compiling on gcc 5.x and 6.x (#75)

Version 1.0

Features:

• TCP communications for speed and reliability
• Support for register-based channel offset and scaling
• Firmware v4.0+ support including:
  • Add mixer correction methods to API
  • Add modulation (DDS) methods to API
  • Modified instruction cache size
• New python libaps2 wrapper
• Demo scripts in matlab and python
• Option to program all connected APS slices
• Progress bars when programming
• Driver version logging

Fixes:

• Fix waveform sample order
• Enforce memory alignment for SDRAM and EPROM writes
• Add reset and retry to TCP connect
• Catch errors in TCP reads
• Better error handling when failing to open UDP ports

Version 1.0 release candidate

TCP communications for speed and reliability.

Version 0.6

Minimum compatible firmware versions: v2.36 (APS2), v0.11 (TDM)

Software:

• Support multiple ethernet interfaces on the host PC
• Only enumerate APS2s on the same subnet(s) as the host PC
• More graceful handling of communication errors
• Automatic discovery of APS2 vs TDM module type
• Support system triggers with the TDM (set_trigger_interval, start, and stop implemented so far)

Hardware:

• Initial support for DHCP for assignment of IP address
• Alternate clock configuration for more consistent channel-to-channel alignment
• System trigger support via SATA input interface

Version 0.5.2

Minimum compatible firmware: v2.29

Software:

• improved test coverage of variable size writes
• Julia driver wrapped in module
• checks whether APS has already been initialized
• documentation improvements
• library cleanups: better C compatibility; cleaner binding for easier debugging

Hardware:

• default values in CSR registers
• new WAITCMP instruction and new SYNC behaviour for better dynamic steering
• bugfixes
