- Hosted at eel124gemdaq:4

XFCE Panel Menu for CODA Interface

- Start CODA - Start CODA RunControl GUI and xterms to CODA components

- Restart Stuff - Restart the component programs (xterms stay live)

- Kill Coda - kill all CODA components and RunControl GUI

- CODA Component Table - edit the table that maps the component names to their hostnames

coda_scripts

- github page

- Scripts locations:

sbs-onl@sbsvtp2 (and all other ROCs)

- ~/coda_scripts/

Note that these are soft-links to

Frontend scripts to use on eel124gemdaq

`startCoda`

executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, ER, 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.

startPEB.sh

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

startER.sh

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

startROC.sh

script for sbsvme31, sbsvme24 that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from the coda_component_table.cfg

startFPGA.sh

script on sbsvtp2, sbsvtp4 that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from the coda_component_table.cfg

kill_remotes.sh

kills off all start*.sh processes.

Useful stand-alone programs

`remex`

log into any machine first with the sbs-onl (e.g.)

 ssh sbs-onl@eel124gemdaq
 remex <remexHost> <function call>

Execute a function call on the specified remote Host

- Run without arguments for usage

Usage for setting trigger source

Must be done after Download

TSINPUT

 remex sbsvmeROC1 "rocSetTriggerSource(0)"

Random Pulser

 remex sbsvmeROC1 "rocSetTriggerSource(1)"

Fixed Pulser

 remex sbsvmeROC1 "rocSetTriggerSource(2)"

MPD programs

log into the VME Controller first with the sbs-onl (e.g.)

 ssh sbs-onl@sbsvme30
 cd ~/mpd-test/

`mpdStatus`

 mpdStatus <mpd slot number>

Show the status of MPD at slot <mpd slot number>

- Run without <mpd slot number> to scan all slots.

`mpdApvConfig` (formerly i2c_test)

 mpdApvConfig <mpd slot number> <configfile>

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(0)

`mpdI2CScan`

 mpdI2CScan <mpd slot number>

Scan i2c addresses for any APVs from MPD in specified slot number

- Configure those found APVs with some default register values

- Display the APV registers

`mpdFiberStatus`

 mpdFiberStatus <mpd slot number>

Display the status of the fiber transceiver

`ProgramEpcs`

 $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/firmware/ProgramEpcs -s <mpd_vme_slot> -v <firmware .jic file>

Update MPD firmware at specified VME address.

- Described in https://hallaweb.jlab.org/dvcslog/SBS/251

`RunUserFpga`

 $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/firmware/RunUserFpga -s <mpd_vme_slot> (-f)

Change between user and factory FPGA image.

- Described in https://hallaweb.jlab.org/dvcslog/SBS/251

`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/*
