e1-tracer¶
This page is about the "production" version of the setup described in ICE40_based_passive_tap.
It is a bi-directional, high-impedance passive tap for E1 (PRI/S2M) tracing. It traces both directions of a link simultaneously via two LIU (Line Interface Units) attached to an iCE40 FPGA with E1 framer + USB softcores.
The traces are sent as isochronous USB transfers to the host PC, where they can (for example) be stored on disk.
hardware¶
Hardware files can be found at: http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-e1-hardware/tree/hardware/e1-tracer and are available as Open Source Hardware.
design files¶
We originally started with a prototype from an iCE40 evaluation board plus two osmo-e1-xcvr and one e1-tap as described in ICE40_based_passive_tap.
Meanwhile, we have designed a fully integrated board. Design files are part of theosmo-e1-hardware.git
repository.
- Schematics:
- Board layout
- Bill of Materials
- gnumeric spreadsheet: source:hardware/e1-tracer/e1-tracer_eBOM.gnumeric
- CSV export: source:hardware/e1-tracer/e1-tracer_eBOM.csv
gateware + firmware¶
The FPGA gateware and RISC-V softcore firmware are found in the osmo-e1-hardware.git
repository, under the gateware
and firmware/ice40-riscv/e1-tracer
directories respectively.
availability¶
Fully assembled products based on this hardware are going to be made available by sysmocom
software¶
The host software is found in the e1-recorder
branch of ice40playground.git
, see https://github.com/smunaut/ice40-playground/tree/e1-recorder/projects/riscv_usb/sw
There are two related programs:
main
- the program used to perform recordings and store themdump
- the program to analyze recordings
