Current sprint - 2.10.0
- TP integration
- 2-link FELIX build lock-up understood. CR expects super-chunk packets, TPG pod expects WIB packets. Workaround - re-generate tlast at the end of every WIB packet for TPG input. Seems to work - no lock ups. Need to understand longer term solution with FELIX devs.
- Tony will make a tag & provide bitfiles for testing.
- Verify this with low-level tools in 2.8.0
- TP software (Ivana). Branch ready with TP unpacking (old/new formats), generation of TPs in DS formats, stitching algorithm (works without crashing, but validation ongoing).
- Consolidation branch ready for 2.10.0 (Florian). inc SNB readout changes, Ivana's changes. Breakout into new packages will come in next week. flx-card-controller DAQ module in flxlibs.
Stretch goal RC integration.
Integration
- CERN NP : DAQ running nicely.
- HD-CB electrical connection issue with APA. Taking APA out. No need for support for time being
- VD-CB have seen tracks. No need for support for time being.
- Bristol
- Xilinx U50 on order + programming cable for Ethernet DAQ
- Mellanox 100GB/s card ordered to act as data source.
Timing
- Established ethernet communications with MIB. Took longer than expected due to support of timing integration by users.
- MIB firmware work delayed as engineer is out of action following bike accident.
- Timing users having trouble installing software / get stuck with things like cvmfs. Will add instructions from DAQ.
- Will need to dismantle WR lab setup at some point to recover FMCs for use in NP setups.
- Will present plans for uTCA commissioning week after next.
Readout FW
- 4.8Gb/s link MR has been accepted.
- This means we need to rebase - Tony will do this, query priorities.
- Prioritise 10 link build, but try a rebase build before Christmas... Discuss next time
Readout SW
- Busy with 2.10, nothing to discuss
Trigger Primitive FW
- WIB2
- Dependency trouble reported by Kunal with WIB2 tests. KM investigating.
- Question about 14 bits over 12, need confirmation. Can we get a clear statement, rather than just off the cuff statements in a meeting.
- Config
- Integrated ped sub value writing into sim/ZCU102, seems to work
- Currently working on thresholds/FIR
Trigger Primitive SW
- Nothing beyond 2.10.0 envisaged
- Validation.
- Kunal working on addition to dtp-simulation which will read in raw binaries from the dunedaq readout and extract WIB/TP packets, for use in emulator comparison.
- Beyond that we will want a version that can run in production in dunedaq environment, for in-depth validation and eg. collection of discrepancies. Should be able to re-use the SW TPG, but will need modifications, and also need a module that will do the comparison and take action.
