<p>Added page for Aurora, since we have had a few customers wondering about it</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Aurora FPGA image (&lt;code&gt;AA&lt;/code&gt;) is built with the free [https://www.xilinx.com/products/intellectual-property/aurora8b10b.html Xilinx Aurora FPGA-IP], allowing for FPGA to FPGA high speed serial link. Think of Aurora as a link-layer transport protocol, providing a programming interface for the user application to use to do actual data transport. Aurora was used in the [https://archive.darpa.mil/sc2/the-colosseum/ DARPA SC2 Colosseum] for high-speed transfer between Ettus USRPs and other FPGA processing devices. Aurora removes the internet protocol layers, providing direct access to the physical networking interface: bits in, bits out ... no overhead for ethernet, IP, UDP! The UHD manual provide a little information about the Aurora FPGA images for various USRPs:<br /> <br /> * E320<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_e3xx.html#e320_fpga_flavours<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_e3xx.html#e3xx_troubleshooting_bist]<br /> <br /> * N300/N310 and N320/N321<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_getting_started_fpga_update_flavors<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_troubleshooting_bist<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_mg_regmap<br /> ** https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_n3xx.html#n3xx_rh_sfp_protocols</div>
