DS-DM

DarkSide-20k Global and Crate Data Manager board (GDM and CDM).

Global Data Manager (GDM):

  • clock distribution to CDM boards (including GPS/atomic clock source)
  • collection of trigger data from CDM boards, processing and distribution of trigger decision to CDM boards
  • run control

Crate Data Manager (CDM):

  • clock distribution from GDM to CAEN digitizers
  • receive trigger data from CAEN digitizers
  • send trigger data to GDM
  • run control and dead time control

error about missing /tmp/tmp-something files
"installation completed successfully" (hard to dismiss, "ok" button is partially cut-off)
done?
I think it failed, /opt/Xilinx/PetaLinux/2020.2/bin is empty except for petalinux-v2020.2-final-installer.run
try to run it by hand, same error about /tmp/tmp-something files. strange...
notice it complains about "truncate", which truncate finds ~/bin/truncate, get rid of it,
try again
now complains about missing texinfo and zlib1g:i386
apt install texinfo -> ok
apt install zlib1g:i386 -> installs bunch of gcc stuff -> ok
try again
reports "already installed" -> delete /opt/Xilinx/.xinstall/PetaLinux_2020.2/, delete entries in ~/.Xilinx/registry/installedSW.xml
try again
success
  • install vivado 2022.1 and petalinux 2022.1 - everything is pretty much the same

JTAG server

Build firmware

  • git clone git@edev-group.triumf.ca:fw/exp/darkside/gcdm.git
  • #Makefile change VIVADO_SETTINGS_SCRIPT := /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/settings64.sh
  • #. /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/settings64.sh
  • . /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/settings64.sh
  • make clean
  • make all_from_scratch
  • . /opt/Xilinx/PetaLinux/2020.2/tool/settings.sh
  • make petalinux_create
  • make petalinux_rebuild_new_hw_des
  • bomb out: The TMPDIR: /home/olchansk/git/ds-dm-gcdm/PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/build/tmp can't be located on nfs.
  • mkdir /tmp/build_tmp
  • rm -rf /home/olchansk/git/ds-dm-gcdm/PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/build/tmp/
  • ln -s /tmp/build_tmp /home/olchansk/git/ds-dm-gcdm/PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/build/tmp
  • try again
  • grinds, loads a whole bunch of packages...
  • finishes with desire to copy things to /tftpboot
  • make sdcard_cp_to wants to copy files from PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/images/linux/ to SD card

prepare bootable sd card

format the sd card

this only needs to be done once

  • become root
  • cd ~olchansk/git/ds-dm-gcdm
  • use "lsblk" to identify the SD card (should show as 8/16/32 GB block device)/ /dev/sdd in this case
  • make sdcard_format SDCARD_DEVICE=/dev/sdd
  • disconnect sd card, reconnect the sd card (to detect new partition tables, etc)

copy boot files to the sd card

  • as root: identify partition labels, run "blkid", should say "BOOT", "rootfs" and "data"
  • mount
mkdir /media/olchansk/BOOT
mkdir /media/olchansk/rootfs
mkdir /media/olchansk/data
mount -L BOOT /media/olchansk/BOOT
mount -L rootfs /media/olchansk/rootfs
mount -L data /media/olchansk/data
cp PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/images/linux/BOOT.BIN /media/olchansk/BOOT/
cp PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/images/linux/boot.scr /media/olchansk/BOOT/
cp PetaLinux_GDM_CDM/images/linux/image.ub /media/olchansk/BOOT/
umount /media/olchansk/BOOT
umount /media/olchansk/rootfs
umount /media/olchansk/data
eject /dev/sdd

DS-20K DAQ

Overview

DS-DM, GDM and CDM are key parts of the DS-20K DAQ system:

  • common clock distribution from external clock (atomic clock, GPS) to GDM to per-quadrant CDMs to VX digitizers
  • common trigger distribution from GDM internal algorithm or external input to all VX digitizers
  • run control: GDM, CDM, VX all start recording data at the same time (clock and timestamp reset)
  • collection of trigger data from VX digitizers to per-quadrant CDMs to GDM

Deliverables

  • hardware and firmware for GDM to CDM clock distribution
  • hardware and firmware for CDM to VX clock distribution
  • hardware and firmware for GDM external clock input (atomic clock or GPS)
  • hardware and firmware for CDM and VX serial communications (VX LVDS I/O connector)
  • firmware for run control (timestamp reset and sync): GDM to CDM to VX
  • firmware for common trigger distribution: GDM to CDM to VX
  • firmware for trigger data flow: VX to CDM to GDM
  • GDM MIDAS frontend: clock selector and monitoring, trigger and run control, GDM housekeeping
  • CDM MIDAS frontend: clock monitoring, CDM housekeeping

specific performance:

  • GDM external clock: 10 MHz GPS clock
  • GDM to CDM fiber link:
    • clock XXX MHz
    • link data rate: XXX Gbit/sec
    • CDM recovered clock: XXX MHz
    • CDM recovered clock jitter: XXX ns
    • phase alignment between CDMs: XXX ns
    • phase alignment between CDMs persists across reboots, power cycles, firmware updates
    • phase alignment between CDMs should be easy to measure
    • phase alignment between CDMs should be easy to recalibrate if hardware parts are replaced (DS-DM boards, fiber transceivers, fiber cables, etc)
    • data packet bandwidth: XXX Mbytes/sec
    • data packet latency: XXX clocks
    • data packet skew between CDMs: XXX clocks
  • CDM to VX clock:
    • clock: XXX MHz
    • jitter, all CDM clock outputs: XXX MHz
    • phase alignment between all CDM clock outputs: XXX ns
  • CDM to VX trigger:
    • TBD (use the VX "sync" input or VX LVDS I/O line or VX serial link packet)
  • CDM to VX serial link:
    • clock: XXX MHz (TBD: VX external clock, or LVDS I/O line or link recovered clock)
    • bit rate: XXX bits/sec
    • latency: XXX link clocks
    • maximum skew between VXes: XXX ns
  • VX to CDM serial link:
    • clock: XXX MHz (TBD: VX external clock, or LVDS I/O line or link recovered clock)
    • bit rate: XXX bits/sec
    • latency: XXX link clocks
    • maximum skew between VXes: XXX ns
  • timestamp reset:
    • maximum skew between VXes: XXX ns

Technical risk items

this refers to unexpected behaviour and performance of system components, causes big difficulty in implementing the system, prevents delivery of deliverables, and prevents or negatively affects operation of the DS-20K DAQ or of the whole experiment.

(14-sep-2022, list is not sorted by any criterial: severity, probability, ease of investigation)

(stability of course is long term stability, across hours, days, weeks, months, years)

  • stability of Enclustra FPGA modules (crashes/year, failures to boot/year, flash corruption/year)
  • stability of GDM external clock PLL
  • stability of CDM recovered clock
  • unexpected failures or bit error rates in GDM-CDM fiber links
  • stability of CDM VX clock outputs (stability of clock cleaner chip)
  • stability of VX internal clock distribution (VX PLL lock loss events)
  • stability of VX CAEN base firmware (different versions of CAEN base firmware have different clock distribution behaviour)
  • strange things in CAEN base firmware (unexpected clocking of LVDS I/O, unexpected phase shifts between clocks, etc)
