Software v2.1.0 released

2 Dec 2013

I’m happy to announce that a new release of the IPbus software suite (i.e. uHAL library and the ControlHub) is now available!

This release has significantly increased performance for large (> 1000 word) block writes and reads - e.g. plateauing at approx. 520 (420) Mb/s write(read) bandwidth for O(10^6) words with chtcp-2.0 communication.

This is also the first release to include the uHAL GUI, a particularly useful tool during HW development (instructions [wiki:uhalGuiInstructions here]).

Installation instructions are located here

Detailed release notes can be found here. N.B: This release contains a backward incompatible change - with a simple workaround - if your hardware uses any old revisions IPbus2.0 firmware from before the end of June (details in the release notes).

This release is API compatible, but ABI incompatible, with the last software release (v2.0.2) - i.e. end-users will have to recompile their C++ source code after installing the new version.

Thanks, The IPbus software team
