| | 19 | * '''Requires use of WARPXilnet library 3.02.a''' |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | * '''Improved Read IQ / Write IQ performance by over 10x''' with a new Transport layer: [source:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_transport_eth_udp_mex.m wl_transport_eth_udp_mex]. |
| | 22 | * This uses the MATLAB EXecutable format, or MEX. To compile the transport for your platform, please refer to the [wiki:WARPLab/MEX MEX Compilation Guide]. |
| | 23 | * To see the performance improvements, please refer to the [wiki:WARPLab/Benchmarks benchmarks] |
| | 24 | * Updated [wiki:WARPLab/FPGAArchitecture/WARPLAB_7_3_0 FPGA HW design] |
| | 25 | * Updated the WARPLab Buffers core (w3_warplab_buffers_axiw_v2_03_a) which moved the memories outside of the core for the Read / Write IQ samples |
| | 26 | * Allowed for the use of the DMA for sample transfers vs memcpy |
| | 27 | * Updated bus architecture to improve performance |
| | 28 | * Added [wiki:WARPLab/Reference/Utility#wl_benchmark wl_benchmark] utility |
| | 29 | * Allows user to do performance testing of Read IQ / Write IQ on their system |
| | 30 | * Fixed bugs: |
| | 31 | * Addressed WARPLab 7.2.0 issue where there were checksum mismatches in Write IQ which would revert the Transport to "slow write" and reduce performance. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | * NOTE: |
| | 34 | * PNET will be deprecated in the WARPLab 7.4.0 release. Please use the new wl_mex_udp_transport instead. |
