Software

Instructions how to install the software

sudo yum install kernel-devel

sudo yum install epel-release

sudo yum install python-pip

sudo yum install python-devel

sudo yum groupinstall 'development tools'

pip install py

To clone the repository using ssh://git@stash.desy.de:7999/bidu/software.git

How to build using cmake

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

To use the software

• Setup the environment variables

cd Scripts

source setup.sh

• Re-load the PCIe bus (mandatory after a new firmware is programmed)

pcie40_reload

How to use the application programs.

• python pll_status.py 0: configure the clock tree. Press F2 to use the clock from FTSW or F3 to use the local oscillator clock (also with a frequency of 127.1 MHz). This application needs a large terminal to work correctly otherwise it will not open

• python pll_status_small.py 0: configure the clock tree. Press F2 to use the clock from FTSW or F3 to use the local oscillator clock (also with a frequency of 127.1 MHz). This application works on small terminal window but will display less information than pll_status.py

• python testBL.py: send a trigger from the FTSW board and read data back in the PCIe40 (edit the file to adapt the name of the VME controller board to communicate with the FTSW module)

• pcie40_reload: reload the driver after programming the firmware of the PCIe40 board. After reloading the driver, you also need to correct the device file permissions with sudo chmod o+rw /dev/pcie40_0_*

• pcie40_program -c 1 file.sof: program the firmware of the PCIe40 board with file.sof

• pcie40_ecs -b 2 -a N -r: read 32 bits at address N of the BAR2 register space

• pcie40_ecs -b 2 -a N -w D: write D at address N of the BAR register space

• pcie40_b2slc: slow control register access
