CODA scripts

These scripts are located in $HOME/bin/

Frontend scripts to use on hallavme12pc

`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

Backend scripts, called by the frontend scripts

remote_vme

script that restarts an ssh connection if it is closed.

PEB_hallavme12pc

script that launches coda_emu_peb. restarts it when it is killed.

ROC_hallavme14pc

script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on hallavme14pc

ROC_sbsvme25

script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on sbsvme25

SBS_startroc.sh

script on sbsvme25, hallavme14pc that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from it's hostname.

kill_remotes.sh

kills off ROC_hallavme14pc, ROC_sbsvme25, and coda_roc on hallavme14pc and sbsvme25.

Useful stand-alone programs

`remex`

$CODA/Linux-i686/bin/remex <remexHost> <function call>

Execute a function call on the specified remote Host

- Run without arguments for usage

`tiLibTest`

SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/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`

SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/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)

`vme_display`

SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/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`

SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/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

`mpdApvDecode`

bryan/mpdApvDecode/mpdApvDecode -f <evio filename>

Decode the raw data from the MPDs/APVs

- Local compilation of JeffersonLab/mpdApvDecode

- Command-line options

-m N          set max event number to N
-s N          skip events until N
-e            show only errors
-f filename   set input to filename  
-o filename   redirect all output to filename
-C filename   use filename instead of decode.cfg for configuration

Extra packages installed

Java runtime environment (1.8.0_221)

Machines in use

atedf3

NFS server, tftp server for VME Controllers

CODA and hardware drivers in /data/disk2/SBS/

Read-only permissions for all machines in 36 subnet
Read-Write permissions for hallavme12pc,sbsvme25

hallavme12pc

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

Restart procedure if not mounted after reboot

Option 1: (preferred)

- logout of coda

- login as root

cp /etc/auto.master_SBS /etc/auto.master

service puppet stop

service autofs restart

- login normally as coda

Option 2:

- logout of coda

- login as root

mount atedf3:/data/disk2/SBS /mnt/SBS

- login normally as coda

Softlinks in /home/coda/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom

coda/ CODA (3.10)

linuxvme (in CODA 3.10 directory)

data (filename format: gem_cleanroom_<run number>.evio.<split number>

hallavme14pc

XVB601 VME Controller

'daq' login
Slots 2-8, 10-16: MPDs
Slot 10: TI
Softlinks in /home/daq/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom

sbsvme25

XVB601 VME Controller

'daq' login
Slots 2-8, 10-16: MPDs
Slot 21: TI
Softlinks in /home/daq/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom

Updated/Cloned New repos in coda/3.10/linuxvme

github links (team:coda-user):

Added /site remote with (e.g. jvme, devel branch)

 cd jvme
 git remote add site /site/coda/contrib/devel/jvme
 git pull site devel

CODA environment setup script

Using BASH, source the environment setup script:

source ~/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/env/setupCODA

Stuff to finish

Replace hallavme12pc

Install OS
Use same mount scripts used on hallavme12pc
Use local storage for data.

Add SSP crate

Figure out it's hostname
Get it to boot just like the other ROCs
Check TI
Check SSP
Check MPD (for checking/debugging APVs)
Tell Ben we're ready to start connecting fiber from MPD to SSP

Log CODA runs to logbooks/superbigbite

check out code used by Hall A's CODA 2.x
from Alex:

- epicsRunstart

- epicsRunEnd

- runstart.tcl

- runend.tcl

Add scripts and GEM-cleanroom specific configuration files to a remote git repo

- .bashrc

- setupCODA

- ~/bin/*
