KIT SPEC

KIT SPEC

Starting kits for developers interested in the White Rabbit solution

Overview

The KIT SPEC is the smart solution composed by two nodes. Each node uses one SPEC and one FMC-DIO card that operate as input time- stamping or programmable output pulse generator. The following formats are available:

  • KIT SPEC-B: The basic one (without SFPs, wires, etc..).
  • KIT SPEC-S: The standard one. Ready to play.
  • KIT SPEC-A: Designed for advanced users and conceived to test the dynamic auto-calibration of White Rabbit protocols under variable external conditions. Includes 5 Km optical fiber rail.

This kit should only be considered as a getting started kit, you should not plan to use it in larger/final production deployment as one of its main components (Genumm PCIe chip) is obsolete.
