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_tedbbdaq

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

ROC_intelbbgem

• 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

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

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>

intelbbgem

• XVR16 VME Controller

• 'daq' login
• Slots ? : SSP
• Slot 21: TI
• Softlinks in /home/daq/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom

hatsv48

• 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):

• jvme
• ti
• ssp
• mpd

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/*
