Description
Data acquisition over an IP network is convenient for diagnostics, monitoring
and control applications. The ReboT protocol (Register Based Access Over TCP)
extends the MTCA4U deviceaccess framework, letting it access supported hardware
over TCP/IP. Using ReboT, the Python and Matlab bindings provided by the
framework give application developers a convenient way to access hardware over
the network.
The poster discusses the server side implementation of ReboT on a Microblaze
soft core. We present our experience implementing the code on the Microblaze
using FreeRTOS and the Netconn API of the LWIP stack. We also compare network
performance against an implementation realized using the Xilinx kernel and the
socket API of the LWIP stack.
