Hardware
- Main FPGA: Altera cyclone 1: EP1C6Q240C6N
- Trigger FPGA: two of the same (3 FPGA grand total)
- Serial flash for FPGA configuration: Altera EPCS16
- 6+6 NIM outputs
- 2 analog outputs for calibration pulse
- 2 NIM inputs
- 256 LVDS inputs into the 2 trigger FPGAs (128 inputs each)
Firmware update procedure
- obtain and build the TTC test program from the ALPHA SVN repository (testTTC.exe):
- mkdir $HOME/online
- cd $HOME/online
- svn checkout https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/alpha/trunk/online/vme
- cd vme
- make testTTC.exe
- (Makefile may need to be adjusted to switch between the GEF_VME and the Universe drivers)
- obtain and build the VME programmer (srunner_vme):
- mkdir $HOME/packages
- cd $HOME/packages
- svn checkout https://ladd00.triumf.ca/svn/daqsvn/trunk/vme (username svn, password svn)
- cd vme
- make -k srunner_vme.exe srunner_vme_gef.exe
- read the firmware revision from VME register 0:
- ./testTTC.exe --ttcx --exit
- write Cyclone 1 FPGA firmware into the flash memory using the VME programmer:
- ./srunner_vme_gef.exe -program -64 alphaTTC_0x7f120629.pof 0x410000b4
- there is no reset-mod for the ALPHA TTC module, you have to cycle the power to reboot it (reboot the Cyclone 1 FPGA into the new firmware) (requires "fpga-reset" mod):
