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)

      dunedaq-2.10.0

      TPG firmware (Tony)

      • Merged changes for 10 link build to master, will make tag

       

      TPG integration tests (Shyam)

      • Tuesday meeting converged on a plan, to use raw streaming mode in minidaq to test the TPG.
      • Currently debugging problems with minidaq configs in raw recording mode.  Need input from Roland.

       

      TPG software (Ivana)

      • Validating stitching algorithms against Python, preparing a new tag
      • This will also fix a bug in overlays which will impact TPG tests

       

      Timing software (Stoyan)

      • Making sure documenation is up to scratch.
      • Will do regression tests next week.  (Takes time, lots of configs).
    • 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)

      Bristol

      • Need to sort out fibres from ZCU to FELIX. Will have 8 links to FELIX for testing.
    • 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

        Speakers: Antony Earle (University of Sussex), Filiberto Bonini (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

        First attempt at rebasing to newer upstream FELIX firmware.

        2 patches we want to include as well as 4.8GB/s (link mapping, and DUNE links)

        Trying a build with dummy TP pod, if this works, will include real one.

      • 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

        Joeal Subash is making changes to dtp-controls to support TPG config block.  Will need to discuss in new year how we integrate this with dune-daq as it is currently standalone.

        Kunal has written dtp-simulation/fmt_wib_raw to convert raw data from readout to WIB classes.

        • Next we will run emulation on these files for comparison with TPG output.
        • Will also add some standardised analysis/integrity checking code

        Ivana will also start helping with the validation.
