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>
- Update SSP at specified VME address.
vme_display
$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
Superbigbite Logbook Entries
- Entry script:
- - daq@tedbbdaq:~/gem_scripts/MakeEntry.sh %(rt) <START/END> %(rn)
- - DAQNAME=BBGEM
- - Executed by PEB1 before Prestart and after End

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
