@ -13,31 +13,35 @@ Highlights:
- HVAMP_8CH 8 channel HV amplifier for Fastino / Zotinos
- Almazny mezzanine board for Mirny
* Softcore targets now use the RISC-V architecture (VexRiscv) instead of OR1K (mor1kx).
* Gateware FPU is supported on KC705 and Kasli 2.0.
* Faster compilation for large arrays/lists.
* Phaser:
- Improved documentation
- Expose the DAC coarse mixer and ``sif_sync``
- Exposes upconverter calibration and enabling/disabling of upconverter LO & RF outputs.
- Add helpers to align Phaser updates to the RTIO timeline (``get_next_frame_mu()``)
* ``get()``, ``get_mu()``, ``get_att()``, and ``get_att_mu()`` functions added for AD9910 and AD9912
* Core device moninj is now proxied via the ``aqctl_moninj_proxy`` controller.
* The configuration entry ``rtio_clock`` supports multiple clocking settings, deprecating the usage
of compile-time options.
* Packaging via Nix Flakes.
* Firmware and gateware can now be built on-demand on the M-Labs server using ``afws_client``
(subscribers only).
* Extended Kasli gateware JSON description with configuration for SPI over DIO.
* ``get()``, ``get_mu()``, ``get_att()``, and ``get_att_mu()`` functions added for AD9910 and AD9912.
* On Kasli, the number of FIFO lanes in the scalable events dispatcher (SED) can now be configured in
the JSON hardware description file.
* ``artiq_ddb_template`` generates edge-counter keys that start with the key of the corresponding
TTL device (e.g. ``ttl_0_counter`` for the edge counter on TTL device ``ttl_0``).
* ``artiq_master`` now has an ``--experiment-subdir`` option to scan only a subdirectory of the
repository when building the list of experiments.
* The configuration entry ``rtio_clock`` supports multiple clocking settings, deprecating the usage
of compile-time options.
* DRTIO: added support for 100MHz clock.
* Added support for 100MHz RTIO clock in DRTIO.
* Previously detected RTIO async errors are reported to the host after each kernel terminates and a
warning is logged. The warning is additional to the one already printed in the core device log upon
detection of the error.
* Removed worker DB warning for writing a dataset that is also in the archive
* Extended Kasli gateware JSON description with configuration for SPI over DIO.
See: https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/pull/1800
* Removed worker DB warning for writing a dataset that is also in the archive.
* ``PCA9548`` I2C switch class renamed to ``I2CSwitch``, to accomodate support for PCA9547, and
possibly other switches in future. Readback has been removed, and now only one channel per
switch is supported.
switch is supported.
Breaking changes:
@ -51,7 +55,6 @@ Breaking changes:
* Phaser: fixed coarse mixer frequency configuration
* Mirny: Added extra delays in ``ADF5356.sync()``. This avoids the need of an extra delay before
calling `ADF5356.init()`.
* DRTIO: Changed message alignment from 32-bits to 64-bits.
* The deprecated ``set_dataset(..., save=...)`` is no longer supported.
