IPbus software

The IPbus protocol is a simple packet-based control protocol for reading and modifying memory-mapped resources within FPGA-based IP-aware hardware devices which have a virtual A32/D32 bus.

The IPbus suite of software and firmware implement a reliable high-performance control link for particle physics electronics, based on the IPbus protocol. This suite has successfully replaced VME control in several large projects, and consists of the following components:

IPbus firmware
A module that implements the IPbus protocol within end-user hardware.
ControlHub
A software application that mediates simultaneous hardware access from multiple uHAL clients, and implements the IPbus reliability mechanism over UDP
uHAL
The Hardware Access Library (HAL) providing an end-user C++/Python API for IPbus reads, writes and RMW (read-modify-write) transactions.

This repository contains the source code for the ControlHub and uHAL.
