General characteristics
Available 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 VME programmer (srunner_vme) and IO32 test program (test_VMENIMIO32):
- 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 test_VMENIMIO32.exe test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe
- read the firmware revision from VME register 0:
- ./test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe --addr 0x100000 --read 0
- write Cyclone 1 FPGA firmware into the flash memory using the VME programmer:
- ./srunner_vme_gef.exe -program -64 VME-NIMIO32.pof 0x100020
- !!!be careful about using Rev0 pof files for Rev0 boards and Rev1 pof files for Rev1 boards!!!
- reboot the Cyclone 1 FPGA into the new firmware (requires "fpga-reset" mod):
- ./test_VMENIMIO32_gef.exe --addr 0x100000 --reboot
