Upstream DAQ Tech meeting

Europe/Zurich
    • 14:00 14:10
      Current sprint 10m

      dunedaq-2.10.0
      - integration status
      - network manager migration

      Speakers: Jim Brooke, Roland Sipos (CERN)

       

      Outstanding SW items for 2.10.0 :

      • network manager migration (readout & timing)
      • TP readout mechanism & dataformats (ongoing discussion)
      • TP stitching patch

      TPG FW integration

      • 10 link build seems to work at basic level (initially had truncation errors, now understood to be related to particular platform used for tests - now resolved)
      • Regression tests with 2 link build done, now moving on to TP tests.  Will pick up the 10 link version once it is tagged.
      • Once basic tests done with 10 link build, will move to VST.  We need to write down the list of tests to do at VST so we can repeat this properly in future (eg. after rebase etc.)

      The plan :

      • proceed with 2.10.0 (merge changes from Ivana on TP stitching, finish network manage migration, resolve TP readout/dataformats).
      • make a firmware release around the same time as 2.10.0 (does not have to be completely in sync) which includes the 10 link TPG build, with ADC readout validated on VST
      • use this FW release to verify TPG in a separate step, and issue patch releases if required

       

    • 14:10 14:20
      Integration 10m

      Integration status and upcoming tasks at:
      - Neutrino Platform
      - CERN DT-DI lab
      - Bristol
      - UPenn
      - ICEBERG

      Speakers: Jim Brooke, Roland Sipos (CERN), Shyam Bhuller (University of Bristol)
    • 14:20 14:59
      Round table 39m

      Looking beyond the current sprint, at planned development, upcoming issues/challenges etc.

      • Timing 5m

        Hardware
        SW packages : timing, timinglib

        Speakers: David Cussans (University of Bristol), Stoyan Trilov
      • Readout FW 5m

        firmware : FELIX core

        Speaker: Filiberto Bonini (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

        Rebase to latest FLX phase master

        • need a few more items merged (link mapping changes, DUNE-specific link ports).
        • Working with Frans to get these changes done.
        • What timescale do we need a 4.8 Gb/s build ?  If this is needed early Jan, say, then we will need to split this task into two. (JB/RS to find out the answer)
      • Readout SW 5m

        packages : readout, flxlib

        Speakers: Ivana Hristova (STFC RAL), Roland Sipos (CERN), Shyam Bhuller (University of Bristol)
      • Trigger Primitive FW 5m

        packages : felix-pie, dtp-firmware

        Speakers: Antony Earle (University of Sussex), Konstantinos Manolopoulos (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory), Kunal Kothekar
      • Trigger Primitive SW 5m

        packages : readout (TPG), dtp-control, dtp-simulation

        Speakers: Ivana Hristova (STFC RAL), Jim Brooke, Kunal Kothekar

        Now new features needed in TP readout beyond 2.10.0 ?

        Main items will be :

        • addition of TPG config/control
        • validation

        Kunal is adding code to dtp-simulation that will convert raw files to chunks and then WIB frames. Will follow up on slack.
