Description

At DESY, the increasing complexity of control systems for particle accelerators requires a standardized approach to FPGA development. We present fwk, an open-source framework designed to abstract design logic from underlying vendor-specific implementation tools. The framework provides a unified environment for managing IP cores, project generation, and register mapping across different hardware platforms. Complementing this infrastructure, DESY is actively releasing a growing library of VHDL IP cores to the public, underscoring an institutional commitment to open-source instrumentation. Additionally, fwk addresses the integration of heterogeneous processing units by coordinating the build processes for embedded runtime environments, such as Yocto and FreeRTOS. The presentation outlines the framework’s design principles and provides an overview of its application in current accelerator subsystems.
