Version 1.8
===========

New minor release, created on 29th April 2020. Milestone: :github-fw-milestone:`Release 1.8 <9>`

Tested mainly with Vivado 2018.3 and 2019.2. Contains Ethernet-based example designs for:

* Enclustra AX3 module, using the RGMII PHY on the PM3 baseboard
* Xilinx KC705 eval board
* Xilinx KCU105 eval board
* Xilinx VCU118 eval board
* Xilinx ZCU102 eval board
* PC053a

And PCIe-based example designs for:

* HiTech Global K800
* Xilinx VCU118 eval board


Core
----

**Bugfixes**

* PCIe: Corrected minor syntax issue in ``ipbus_transport_multibuffer_if.vhd`` that Vivado flags as a critical warning [:github-fw-issue:`164`]


Slaves
------

**New slaves**

For Xilinx ICAP and IPROG primitives, and an IPbus slave that behaves as a master to AXI4-lite bus (courtesy of Jeroen Hegeman, all files under ``components/ipbus_util``):

  =========================  =========================================================
  ``ipbus_icap_x7``          ICAP (7-series devices) [:github-fw-issue:`161`]
  ``ipbus_icap_us_usp``      ICAP (Ultrascale & Ultrascale+) [:github-fw-issue:`161`]
  ``ipbus_iprog_x7``         IPROG (7-series devices) [:github-fw-issue:`161`]
  ``ipbus_iprog_us_usp``     IPROG (Ultrascale & Ultrascale+) [:github-fw-issue:`161`]
  ``ipbus_axi4lite_master``  Master to an AXI4lite bus [:github-fw-issue:`168`]
  =========================  =========================================================

The ICAP slaves support register reads and writes, as well as FPGA reconfiguration from a configurable base address. The IPROG slaves support FPGA reconfiguration from a configurable base address.

**Bugfixes**

* Added missing dependency to ``ipbus_freq_ctr.dep`` [:github-fw-issue:`171`]
* Removed the ``id`` attribute from the root node of all address table files (since not used by uHAL) [:github-fw-issue:`170`] 


Boards, example designs and utilities
-------------------------------------

Added a 7-series SGMII Ethernet block (tested on the VC707 development board) [:github-fw-issue:`173`]
