Fallout-v6.3.1

Important

  • Please read ALL notes BEFORE you update your device(s)!
  • Only gateware updates are available for SCU2 and SCU3!
  • Timing stack update for all devices!

Release Notes

EB tools

  • eb-info: Improved memory safety to enhance stability and prevent potential issues related to memory management.
  • eb-reset: Implemented a force parameter for the FPGA reset functionality.

Saftlib v3.1.3

  • Removed 10ms delay: Enhanced performance by removing the 10ms delay when the file descriptor (fd) is not immediately ready.
  • Added signal(s) dropped counter: Introduced a counter to track the number of dropped signals, providing better monitoring and diagnostics.

SCU2/3

  • MIL event error counter: Added a counter for MIL event errors, improving error tracking and diagnostics for more efficient troubleshooting.
  • The default function generator firmware was removed from the SCU.

FPGA gateware and bel_projects in general

  • This update includes various general improvements and performance optimizations under the hood. While these changes are not directly visible to the end user, they contribute to a smoother and more efficient experience.
