WARP Tutorial

The tutorial below gives a step by step method to learn about the WARP platform.

• The first step is to get familiar with the various components of the FPGA board. Click here to learn about the various components of the board.
• The second step is to get started with the installation of the Xilinx tool suite. Click here for more details on installation installation of Xilinx tool suite.
• The next step is for the user to learn to use the Xilinx Platform Studio tools. It is really important for programmers who plan on doing software development for WARP. A large portion of this guide is dedicated to xilkernel. Click here to understand the working of the Xilinx Platform Studio tools.
• Once you have successfully installed the tool suite, you should get your hands on trying a few exercises so as to get your hands on the the working of the board. Click here to download the exercises.
• Part I
• Part II
• Part III
  

Apart from the above documentations, the following links would help you to understand more technicalities about the platform.

• OFDM Reference Design
• Linker script

Also here is a list of FAQs provided by the official WARP website.

The documentation provided by us has been taken from Rice University. We would thank the Rice University for providing the basic groundwork and help us get familiar with the board and make things easier for us to move on with our research.
