Getting Started

  • For general information on the Critical Link ARM SOM, start here MityARM
  • Follow instruction at MityARM to login into Linux
  • Build and install GPMC-CAMAC drivers
  • Load the FPGA firmware
  • Run CAMAC tests

BOOTCONFIG

BOOTCONFIG settings:

  • CL eval board:
    • BOOTCONFIG[0..11] are SYSBOOT[0..11]
    • boot from SD: all open, [3] closed
    • boot from on-SoM NAND: all open, close [2], [3], [8], [9], [10], [11] (6 jumpers)
  • CAMAC board Rev1:
    • top-to-bottom: B0..4,G0..5,R0 correspond to LCD_DATA[0..11] are SYSBOOT[0..11]
    • boot from SD: all open, B3 closed
    • boot from on-SoM NAND: all open, close B2, B3, G3, G4, G5, R0 (6 jumpers)

NOTES:

  • boot from EMAC1 requires PHY connection to RGMII1, CLeval and CAMAC boards connected PHY to RGMII2.

GPMC interface

0x8 = CS0 - on-SoM NAND flash (boot loader)
0x9 = CS1 - not used
0xa = CS2 - not used
0xb = CS3 - CAMAC interface

./gpmc 0x0a000000 0x12ff5678

CAMAC interface

General information:

  • CAMAC interface responds to GPMC CS3
  • the host CPU should always issue 32-bit read and write cycles on even addresses (last 2 bits of address set to 0)
  • address bits 15..12 address the FPGA GPMC registers (4 bits, 16 registers)
  • remaining address bits are used for encoding CAMAC operations
  • all GPMC registers are 32-bit wide

  • if /daq/daqshare/olchansk is not available, building the kernel module will fail. To proceed, get the correct kernel sources and cross-compiler:
cd ~/packages
git clone https://bitbucket.org/ttriumfdaq/linux-mityarm-335x.git
git clone https://dd1@bitbucket.org/ttriumfdaq/u-boot-mityarm-335x.git # not needed for building kernel module
cd gpmc-camac/kernel-module
edit Makefile, change KDIR to $HOME/packages/linux-mityarm-335x and CROSS_COMPILE=location of cross-compiler tools
  • Note: gpmc-camac kernel module for Linux kernel uImage-KO10 (uname -a "Linux armdaq02.triumf.ca 3.2.0-00377-gb23ecfb-dirty #33 Sun Nov 13 05:10:32 UTC 2016 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux") *MUST* be built using native gcc (make CROSS_COMPILE=).
  • install kernel drivers
cd $HOME/packages/gpmc-camac/kernel-module
make install
su - ### login as root
### follow instructions printed by "make install"
  • verify that debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug: ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/
  • run /etc/rc.local or reboot

Firmware revisions

Run "./camac" to read the firmware revision number (reg0)

  • 0x14120723 - ???
  • 0x15012159 - working Rev1, old/new "done" bit.
  • 0x15120106 - Rev2 AUX (ok on Rev1 board)
  • 0x15120946 - Rev2 MASTER
  • note: LAM register does not seem to work in these firmware (register 7 LAM bits are always 1)

Register 1 - command

Write-only 32 bit register:

command 1: CMD_reset: 0x
command 2: CMD_reconfigure
command 3: CMD_TestMode
command 4: CMD_Zero
command 5: CMD_Clear
command 6: CMD_Inhibit
command 7: CMD_WriteLED: 0xXXXX0007 -> write 0xXXXX to the LED bus

Register 2 - test read/write register

32-bit read/write register for testing GPMC bus communications

Register 3 - FPGA flash programmer

active-serial flash programmer interface (see srunner, srunner_vme and srunner_gpmc).

Register 4 and 5 - CAMAC command, write data and read data

A write cycle to the GPMC bus carries 16 bits of address and 32 bits of data:

Address 16 bits (Quartus cmd_A[15..0])
----
15..12 - GPMC register address 
--
11 - not used
10 - not used
9 - not used
8..4 - CAMAC N[4..0]
--
3 - CAMAC F[4]
2 - CAMAC_start - set this bit to 1 to trigger a CAMAC operation. Value 0 is for testing the communications without running the CAMAC sequencer.
1 - not accessible
0 - not accessible
----

Data 32 bits: (Quartus cmd_D[31..0])
----
31..28 - CAMAC F[3..0]. (CAMAC F[4] is cmd_A[3])
27..24 - CAMAC A[3..0]
--
23..0 - CAMAC write lines W[24..1]
----

To verify correct data transmission on the GPMC bus and correct latching of the data in the CAMAC part of the FPGA, the 32 bits of data can be read back through register 4 and the 16 bits of address can be read through the low 16 bits of register 5. Reading from these registers is not necessary for operating CAMAC cycles.

Register 6 - CAMAC status and read data

Read-only 32 bit register:

31 - not used
30 - not used
29 - not used
28 - BUSY_OUT
--
27 - BUSY
26 - set to 1 when CAMAC cycle is finished and new data is ready
25 - CMD_ACCPT
24 - RESPONSE
--
23..0 - CAMAC read data[24..1]

Register 7 - CAMAC LAM and interface status

Read-only 32-bit register:

31 - EXT_BUSY
30 - EXT_INHIBIT
29 - EXT_GRANT_IN
28 - EXT_GRANT_OUT
--
27 - ACB ACL
26 - ACB RI
25 - ACB RQ
24 - not used
--
23..0 - CAMAC LAM from slots 24..1
