Ditch a few lines of code. But it's fine, we support both 150MHz (used 
on the DRTIO satellite, clocking the 830 from the 5324) and 100MHz now.

I already have a 100MHz (non-programmable) clock in the lab, so I prefer to
continue supporting that in all levels (firmware, hardware, etc.) in the
long term. That said, the workarounds are not too onerous for getting up
and running initially--either Dan's suggestion of a non-standard 150MHz
clock or Tom's suggestion of modifying the dividers in our lab-specific
bitstream build would allow us to see full performance in the lab for

Hi All,

the frequency standard output generally 10MHz, many choices like SRS FS725
or FS740. Usually, they need the GPS to calibrate 1pps signal.

I think it is more easy way to leave an 10MHz clock input, through I don't
understand why almost all of the frequency standard output 10MHz.

Best

Re: [ARTIQ] Sayma input frequency

2018-06-18 Thread Slichter, Daniel H. (Fed) via ARTIQ
It is certainly possible to get nice low-phase-noise sources at 150 MHz instead 
of 100 MHz, but these would need to be special ordered.  How much of a 
challenge is using 100 MHz?  Does the HMC830 not allow us leeway here?  

One temporary solution would be to use an HMC830 (or equivalent) eval board to 
generate 150 MHz from another reference frequency and feed that to the Sayma 
input connector.  However, over the longer term I think it would be good to 
have Sayma able to operate from a more standard reference frequency such as 100 
MHz.

[ARTIQ] Sayma input frequency

2018-06-18 Thread Sébastien Bourdeauducq via ARTIQ

Hi,

any objections to supporting only the RTIO clock frequency (currently 
150MHz) at the Sayma input, instead of 100MHz?

Are you using non-programmable 100MHz references?
