I am having difficulty getting the custom scripts to work within the updated MIDAS. Before the 
update I was using something like : 

<input type=submit name=customscript value="test">

on my custom page to run a script under /CustomScript/test, however, with the update to 
MIDAS this is no longer working. I can't find any information about this functionality being 
updated in the latest version - has this changed? Or should it still work? 

Thanks,
Becky (g-2 DAQ)

I do not see any messages about anybody changing this function. I hope it did not break by accident.

Right now I am working on the event buffer code, and did not plan to look at mhttpd, but it looks like
your problem is important and there is at least on more problem (but it has a work-around),
so I may look at it sooner than later...

K.O.

I just check that feature and found it's still working as expected. 

On trap I fell in was that a custom page needs the <input type=submit ...> to be imbedded into a pair of 

<form>
  ...
</form>

tags in order to work. Otherwise the browser will not execute the submit request. Has nothing to do with midas.

There was a small bug that after executing such a script, the URL was set to http://<host>/CS which is non-existent, 
so I fixed that to redirect to the page which called the script. Submitted to develop branch.

> <input type=submit name=customscript value="test">

Stefan is right, input-type-submit has to be inside a form. This type of rpc call is "old school". Today, we should 
have a json-rpc request to execute a custom script.

K.O.

When using a slowcontrol frontend which operates a device using the multi class
driver the current midas version (ec3225902d6) has the following issue:

There is a row labeled with: All Input Output

So far by clicking e.g. on Input, only the Input related part was displayed, etc.

Currently this leads to the following error message: 

Error: cannot find key LS336/Variables/Input

where LS336 is my DD.

This is the "slow control" page you enter by clicking on the equipment name
on the midas status page, yes?

There is some kid of logic behind that link that send one either to the ODB page
for /Eq/XXX/Variables or to the "slow control" page that displays
/Eq/XXX/Variables in a table.

I just tried it and I cannot get to this page in my test experiment, so it will take
a few minutes for me to reproduce your problem. But I think I know where the breakage
is - with the new URL scheme, the links for selecting which variable to show either
was not converted to the new URL scheme or there is a bug and it send us to the wrong place.

I do not remember testing that code, so I will take a look at it definitely.

> Currently this leads to the following error message: 
> Error: cannot find key LS336/Variables/Input

Looks like the /Equipment part is missing from the ODB path...

K.O.

Fixed in https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/commits/e2c4871026121ed1cc44a69b9e3e2d428a6c84d1

The link was pointing to the wrong place - going to ODB instead of staying on the same page.

K.O.

Hi,

if I use 'rmlogger' to write ROOT event files after few seconds from
START rmlogger fails with this:

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

I realized that removing bk_swap(...) from line 3364 of mlogger.cxx
it works fine...

Regards,
Gennaro

bk_swap() should not activate normally. (Unless you are sending events from a big-endian 
machine. Hmm... maybe you do. What are you running on and where are you generating 
events, what CPU is there "cat /proc/cpuinfo").

there is also possibility of malformed event.

please print the value of pbh->flags, in hex. (if you can print the value of all the other data 
fields in pbh, that would be good, too).

K.O.

this is the stack trace;

I'm running 'rmlogger' on Raspberry PI with ROOT 6.16;
events come from a SBC (Single Board Computer) and either CPU
are "Little Endian"...

Ok, here is our bug. It is trying to write the ODB dump through the ROOT writer. Not gonna work.

Simple fix. Set ODB "/Logger/Channels/X/Settings/ODB dump" to "n".

Keep an eye on this for a proper fix

partial fix is "in" https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/commits/b9d12098b5d81556a0c7d94b998b51abc4d13bfd

but one still must manually disable writing ODB dumps into this channel.

also double counting of events is not fixed.

this is the most I can do at this moment without setting up at test experiment with a ROOT writer.

Hi, we are part of the Mu3e research based at University of Bristol. We have a 
remote 32 bit frontend (raspberry pi) connected to a 64 bit Data Acquisition 
system.we are following the instructions at installation/quickstart linux/Build

Could you please help with getting past this? otherwise we may need to change 
our whole experimental setup.

Thank you in advance

Why don't your try the (yet undocumented) new installation procedure:

$ git clone https://bitbucket.com/tmidas/midas --recursive
$ cd midas
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install

In case your RPi does not have cmake pre-installed, you need

$ sudo apt-get install cmake.

Works for my RPi.

Best,
Stefan

Update: "make" instead of "make linux32" should also work. I believe the "linux32" target came 
from some special case at TRIUMF for some FPGA embedded linux, which is not applicable for 
the Raspberry Pi.

Note that the build process has to be initiated on the Raspberry Pi, NOT a host PC.

Stefan

Yikes, the error is in the CRC library. The assembly-optimized crc32c function fails to build, and the 
error does not look familiar to me. I do not see this error here. What is your host system ("uname -
a") and what is your gcc ("gcc -v")?

BTW, "make linux32" will build an Intel 32-bit version (see "-m32" in "man gcc"). For ARM 32-bit 
you need a different switch, I think, also depending how you are cross-compiling it.

For straight cross-compilation, look at the Makefile target "make linuxarm" (you will need to change 
the location of your ARM gcc cross-compiler).

For running MIDAS frontend on the Raspberry Pi 3, I build MIDAS on the Pi3 itself, the machine is big 
enough to run CentOS7 linux and gcc to build the full MIDAS.

But if you have a different cross-compilation scheme, I am happy to help you and to add your 
scheme to the MIDAS Makefile. We can start by looking at "uname -a" and "gcc -v" and "lsb_release 
-a" (if you have it).

K.O.

Thanks for your advice. We now have Midas installed on both our machines (remote machine-Rpi &

When we run the following commands on the hostname(DAQ machine) and the remote
frontend(Rpi):
cd $HOME/online
cp $MIDASSYS/examples/experiment/* .
make

We get errors such as
=================
On Rpi:
pi@raspberrypi:~/online/fe_test $ make
...
Missing definition of environment variable 'ROOTSYS' !

=================
On host machine
inking CXX executable frontend
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmfe
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmidas
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [frontend] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/frontend.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


The Rpi(32bit) doesn't have root installed but the host machine(64bit) does.
What can we do to fix this?

Thank you this forum has been of great help.

If the latest midas does not work, try the previous release versions. "git tags" and "git branch -
a" will show you what exists. Look for branch and tag names in the form "midas-YYYY-MM".

As shortcut, the latest release candidate is midas-2019-06, the latest release branch is midas-
2019-03, latest release tag midas-2019-03-h.

I do not understand cmake well enough to debug this. Falling back to midas-2019-03 may help 
you as it uses normal make and with luck you know how to debug normal Makefiles if you see 
the same problem.
