dunedaq-2.8.0 / FW-2.0.0
Main objectives
- TPG chain
Technical developments & future plans
Dave N. working on debugging rx path issue affecting some timing hardware
Work happening in parallel on:
Question: What firmware+hardware combinations do we need to support? Is it just COLBOX (+HSI) timing hardware?
Technical developments & future plans on Readout Subsystem.
Firmware developments & testing (K. Manolopoulos)
Felix-pie (A.Earle)
Software (Florian) :
Technical developments & future plans on TP specific firmware and software.
TPs and other topics (I. Hristova)
- generating WIB2 test patterns
- fixing the DR testbench script
- discussion with DS about TP readout and post-processing in the readout to
prepare the TPs from the firmware for DS usage, work can start once the
the above urgent firmware tasks are done
- this was a useful discussion as we clarified all the remaining questions
before any work can start, we have a provisional plan which we have to
do and see how it is going to work
- will have a discussion with Kostas about the next firmware release
Integration status at:
- CERN
- Bristol
- UPenn
- ICEBERG
Bristol Test Stand:
What has been done:
- tested emulator with vanilla 12-ch bit file with and without debug cores
- ran "Configure the FELIX card" instructions in flxlibs, a better summary of the output should be implemented for flxlibs
What needs to be done:
- Compare readout from ZCU to the FELIX emulator
- Try using DUNE-DAQ to readout data from the FELIX card. Figure out how to store readout in a file
