caer
====

AER event-based framework, written in C, targeting embedded systems.

REQUIREMENTS:

Linux, MacOS X or Windows (for Windows build instructions see README.Windows)

cmake >= 2.6
gcc >= 4.9 or clang >= 3.6
libcaer >= 2.0.0
mini-xml (mxml) >= 2.7
libuv >= 1.7.5
Optional: tcmalloc >= 2.2 (faster memory allocation)
Optional: allegro5 >= 5.0.11 (visualizer module)

INSTALLATION:

0) rename main_dynapse.c in main.c

$ mv main_dynapse.c main.c

1) configure: 

$ cmake -DDYNAPSEFX2=1 -DENABLE_STATISTICS=1 -DENABLE_VISUALIZER=1 -DENABLE_MEANRATEFILTER=1 -DENABLE_MONITORNEUFILTER=1 . 

One of the following options is required to select a device:
 -DDYNAPSEFX2=1         - set dynapsefx2 (for FX2 platform models)

Optional input/output modules:
 -DENABLE_FILE_INPUT=1
 -DENABLE_NETWORK_INPUT=1
 -DENABLE_FILE_OUTPUT=1
 -DENABLE_NETWORK_OUTPUT=1

Optional modules:
 -DENABLE_STATISTICS=1  	- enable events statistics
 -DENABLE_VISUALIZER=1		- enable the visualizer module 
 -DENABLE_MEANRATEFILTER=1      - enable mean rate filter , requires visualizer
 -DENABLE_MONITORNEUFILTER=1    - enable selection of neurons to be monitored
 -DENABLE_LEARNINGFILTER=1      - enable a simple learning filter that uses STDP like plasticity rule

Useful options: 
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug  -- enable debug build , you can then use gdb to debug your code
 
 
2) build:

$ make

3) install:

$ make install

USAGE:

$ caer-bin (see docs/ for more info on how to use cAER)
$ caer-ctl (run-time settings control program, optional)
