Porting to all FPGA-PCMCIA

The goal of the activity is to reduce the size of the system and its complexity.

This activity involves of three funcitonalities in a single PCMCIA device that is based on a FPGA card.

GPS Time Receiver

This part receives the GPS signal with the current time and generates two accurated one at 1Hz frequency and one at 10MHz frequency.

Network Interface

This part provides the interconnection between the PCMCIA and the PC that manages the system. The part intercats with the GPS Time Receivere to obtain accurated clock for the syncronization.

Switch Controller

This part provides the management of the optical switch boards. It also intercats with the GPS Time Receivere to obtain accurated clock for the syncronization.
