Frontend scripts to use on tedbbdaq

startCoda

• executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, all ROCs) in a separate xterm

restartStuff

• kills and restarts the PEB and ROCs. The xterms are not killed with this script.

kcoda

• kills all CODA components

Useful stand-alone programs

remex

$CODA_BIN/remex <remexHost> <function call>

• Execute a function call on the specified remote Host

- Run without arguments for usage

tiLibTest

$CODA_VME/ti/test/tiLibTest <TI slot number>

• Test triggering capabilities of the local TI.

- Puts the local TI in master mode (with no slaves).

- Accepts triggers either from Front Panel TSinputs or Internal Random Pulser

i2c_test

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/i2c_test <mpd slot number>

• Test the initialization and configuration of the APVs in the specified MPD.

- Does the same initialization that is done in mpd_list.c:rocDownload()

- Also attempts the readback of the APV registers with mpdApvStatus(0xffff)

sspFirmwareUpdate

$LINUXVME/ssp/firmware/sspFirmwareUpdate <firmware .bin file> <SSP VME ADDRESS>

<code>$CODA_VME_BIN/vme_display <VME Address> <read size in bytes>

• Display the read value of specified size from the specified VME address.

- Run without arguments for usage

vme_modmem

$CODA_VME_BIN/vme_modmem <VME Address> <read/write size in bytes>

• Modify the value of specified size of the specified VME address.

- Run without arguments for usage

MPD/SSP/APV Config files

• Config files for configuration of APVs and MPD / SSP can be found in

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/

• The SSP readout list (mpd5_ssp_list.so) uses

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/ssp_config.txt

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/ssp_apv_default.txt

• The MPD readout list (mpd_list.so, mpd_slave_list.so) uses

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/mpd_config.txt

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/mpd_apv_default.txt

• Both use common files to configure the MPDs/APVs given the MPD's slot number. For example, slot 5 MPD:

- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/bbgem_crate_1/MPD_vmeSlot_5.cfg

Machines in use

atedf3

• NFS server, tftp server for VME Controllers

• CODA and hardware drivers : /data/disk2/SBS/coda/3.10_arm
• sbs-onl home directory : /data/disk2/home/sbs-onl

• Read-only permissions for all machines in 36 subnet
• Read-Write permissions for a few select machines / vme controllers

tedbbdaq

• DAQ Computer (RunControl, Event Building)

• Mount atedf3:/data/disk2/SBS to /mnt/SBS

- Uses autofs. /etc/auto.SBS should be included in a line in /etc/auto.master

Stuff to finish

Fix MPD Crate VME Controller Diskless OS

- Hopefully new host name will fix this

Update MPD firmware

- need to program Fpga_4_Fiber_200811.jic

Check MPD library x86_64 compilation

- with and without SSP fiber

Setup CODA3 environment for MPD crate ?

Log CODA runs to logbooks/superbigbite
