ALPHA-T onboard jumpers and switches

  • rotary switches: select IP address: 00=192.168.1.50, 11=.51, 22=.52, 33=.53, 44=.54, otherwire=.251

Firmware update procedure

  • use quartus to generate the grifc.pof file (use grifc.cof)
  • open quartus programmer
  • attach grifc.pof to the 1st CFI_512 flash
  • mark program/configure for the same flash (3 marks: pof, page_0 and OPTION_BITS
  • check that "initiate configuration after programming" is set in tools->options
  • say "start"
  • should take about 5 minutes
  • grifc should reboot into the new firmware

If CFI_512 flash is not visible to the quartus programmer, load correct code into the MaxV CPLD:

  • open quartus programmer,
  • say "auto detect"
  • change file for the 5M2210 device
  • use .../boot/maxv_3xfmc_normal.pof from the firmware git repository
  • say "program", it should finish in 10-15 seconds
  • say "auto detect"
  • CFI_512 flash should be visible now.

Firmware build

  • use quartus 17.1

ALPHA-g trigger functions

Trigger modes:

  • software trigger
  • pulser trigger
  • trigger on GRIF16 ADC NIM and ESATA inputs ("external trigger")
  • adc16 grand-or
  • adc32 grand-or
  • adc16 wire multiplicity
  • TPC anode wire per-preamp trigger (aw16 section)
    • trigger on coincidences of preamps
    • trigger on multiplicity of preamps
    • trigger on specific topology of preamps (multiplicity of preamp clusters, etc) via the aw16_mlu trigger
  • BSC trigger
    • BSC grand_or
    • BSC bar multiplicity
  • coincidence trigger - coincidence of external, TPC AW and BSC triggers

software trigger

to programmatically fire the trigger, one should:

  • set the conf_enable_sw_trigger bit in conf_trig_enable, this will permit the software trigger to fire the trigger
  • write value 0x4 to register 0x2B, this will cause the trigger to fire

pulser trigger

To use the pulser trigger, one should program:

  • pulser period (in clocks)
  • pulser width (in clocks, use value 5, the pulser no longer goes outside of the trigger board, so changing the width does not do anything)
  • set the run_pulser bit in conf_trig_enable, this will cause the pulser to run
  • set the enable_pulser bit in conf_trig_enable, this will cause the pulser to fire the trigger
  • set the output_pulser bit in conf_trig_enable, this will cause the pulser to be output from the alphag firmware block (the pulser no longer goes outside of the trigger board, so changing the bit does not do anything)

timeout trigger

The event builder uses event timestamps to assemble physics events. The timestamps are usually 32 bit wide and run at 125 MHz (8 ns) or 62.5 MHz (16 ns). If triggers are generated often (1 per second or more), timestamp wrap around is easily detected by the event builder. If triggers come infrequently, timestamp wrap around may occur while there are no triggers, not be seen by the event builder causing loss of event synchronization.

To avoid this problem in the event builder, a timeout trigger is generated if no triggers were generated inside a 10 second interval.

The guaranties that even if all physics triggers temporarily stop for any reason, the event builder will stay synchronized. (0.1 Hz timeout trigger frequency).

adc16 multiplicity trigger

This trigger is intended for use with the barrel scintillator signals connected to adc16 digitizers. It does not work well with TPC AW signals.

The 16 adc16 trigger bits (16x16=256) are added together to form the hit multiplicity value (adc16_mult, 16 bits, actual range 0 to 256).

Four threshold signals are computed: adc16_mult_1ormore = adc16_mult>=1, 2ormore, 3ormore, 4ormore.

There is a counter for each of these four signals.

Each of these four signals can fire the trigger, see conf_trig_enable bits.

TPC anode wire triggers

TBW: mapping of adc16 and adc32 into aw16[15:0] signals

aw16_grand_or

TPC AW "grand or" trigger: use aw16_mult_1ormore

aw16_mult

TPC AW preamp multiplicity trigger: counts how many preamps have hits, fires:

  • aw16_mult_1ormore (same as aw16_grand_or)
  • aw16_mult_2ormore
  • aw16_mult_3ormore
  • aw16_mult_4ormore

(256 anode wires, 16 wires per preamp, 16 preamps, 16 aw16 signals)

aw16_coinc

TBW: TPC AW preamp coincidence trigger

aw16_mlu

TPC AW preamp MLU trigger: the MLU (memory lookup table) implements an arbitrary logical function to map the 16 aw16 preamp signals into 1 aw16_mlu_trig trigger output.

Description of the aw16 mlu trigger.

In words:

  • any aw16 signal starts the aw16_prompt_run gate
  • aw16 signals are collected for the duration of conf_mlu_prompt (125MHz/8ns clock)
  • this corresponds to time spread of TPC AW signals due to the drift time in the AW drift cell and to the variation in signal transmission time from the ADC to the TRG (digital trigger data link).
  • when this prompt time expires, the MLU looks at the accumulated aw16_prompt bit pattern and makes the "yes/no" trigger decision
  • after the trigger decision is made, we wait for the TPC to become quiet, meaning there is no aw16 signals for the duration of the aw16_prompt_wait gate (conf_mlu_wait), if any signals arrive during the gate, they restart the gate.
  • after the TPC has been quiet for conf_mlu_wait time (125MHz/8ns clock), the MLU trigger is ready for the next event.

In logic: (see alphag.v)

  • aw16_or <= grand-or of 16 aw16 signals
  • "aw16_or" starts the "aw16_prompt_cnt" counter, opens the aw16_prompt_run gate
  • during the aw16_prompt_run gate, aw16_prompt collects (latches) the aw16 bits (aw16_prompt <= aw16_prompt | aw16)
  • this is the time when we wait for all "prompt" signals from the TPC to arrive into the trigger
  • at the end of the aw16_prompt_run gate, the signal aw16_prompt_out is pulsed, latching the output of the MLU into aw16_mlu_trig
  • this is the MLU trigger "yes/no" trigger decision.
  • after the MLU trigger decision is made, we wait for the arrival and passing of all TPC drift signals
  • the aw16_prompt_wait_cnt and aw_prompt_wait gate opens
  • if any new aw16 signals arrive (they are TPC drift signals at this time), the aw16_prompt_wait gate is restarted
  • if no aw16 signals arrive during the full run of the aw16_prompt_wait gate ("TPC quiet time")
  • the aw16_prompt_wait and aw16_prompt gates are cleared and the MLU trigger is ready for the next event.

BSC trigger

TBW

Coincidence trigger

Coincidence trigger inputs:

   assign coinc_input[0] = aw16_mult_1ormore;
   assign coinc_input[1] = aw16_mlu_trig;
   assign coinc_input[2] = bsc_grand_or_trig;
   assign coinc_input[3] = bsc_mult_trig;
   assign coinc_input[4] = esata_nim_grand_or;
   assign coinc_input[5] = 0;
   assign coinc_input[6] = 0;
   assign coinc_input[7] = 0;

Coincidence trigger "start" mask selects which of the inputs can start the coincidence window.

Coincidence trigger "require" mask selects which inputs must have a hits for the coincidence ot be satisfied.

Input hits are collected for the duration of the coincidence window, if all required inputs have hits, coinc_trig is fired.

Example settings:

  • coincidence of external scintillator, BSC and TPC AW "grand or" signals: start 0x10, required 0x15
  • coincidence of BSC and TPC AW "grand or" signals: start 0x4, required 0x5
  • coincidence of BSC and TPC AW MLU triggers: start 0x4, required 0x6
  • coincidence of BSC multiplicity and TPC AW MLU triggers: start 0x8, required 0xA

TODO

  • add FwRev to the UDP data output
  • fix "write did not happen" (send udp write command, there is no reply, read returns old data as if write never happened). suspect udp "write" packet is lost?
  • fix reply to wrong socket - udp packets should reply to same socket as they came from, udp data packets should be sent to same socket as requested them, not same socket as last command.
  • add fixes from Chris P. for the auto-negotiation and dhcp (see email from him).
  • speed up programming the MLU by writing more than 1 bit at a time
