RCU status report • Focus on: • Status of the DCS board firmware and low level software. • Status of the RCU actel firmware
DCS board firmware status • Firmware v2.2: • Based on TRD DCS FW v011 • Memory mapped interface. • RCU Flash Interface. • Read, write, erase sector and erase complete flash. • Uses same Linux driver/software as existent solution. • ~50 kB/s bandwidth from DCS-Linux to RCU-flash when writing. (Reading is faster) • Selectmap Interface. • Direct Control from Linux • SW to FW Memory compressing included (2x16, 3x10, 4x8bit) • Handling of RCU interrupt
RCU Actel Status • Version 1.1 is finished and supports: • DCS memory mapped mode, direct selectmap mode and flash mode. • Read/write single frames on Xilinx using DCS messagebuffer • Scrubbing – single and continous from rcu-flash • Visit our Wiki for Firmware programming file and documentation: http://www.ift.uib.no/~kjeks/wiki/
DCS: Integrate SW interrupt handling (tested and found working) Selectmap kernel module and software. Integrate ADC readout Include relevant SW from Tobias Krawutsche More irradation tolerant FW design (triple redundancy...) RCU Actel Include frame by frame readback and verification (Conceptually design done) More irradation tolerant FW design (triple redundancy...) Challenge: Deal with the limited space of the Actel while also including more irradation tolerant design techniques. Todo list But... ALL important functions are ready and working
