CODA scripts

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

coda_scripts

- github page
- Scripts locations:
  • daq@tedbbdaq
- ~/gem_scripts/setupCODA.bash
- ~/gem_scripts/coda_scripts/
  • sbs-onl@intelbbgem
- ~/coda_scripts/

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.

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

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
  • Programs useful for debugging config file format
- $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/mpdConfigTest
- $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/sspMpdConfigTest

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

- Should be fixed with new host name

Check MPD library x86_64 compilation

- Run a program that configures and gets the status of the MPDs in the crate.

Update MPD firmware

- program with Fpga_4_Fiber_200811.jic

Check SSP-MPD Fiber connection

- Run a program that configures and gets the status of the MPDs in the crate (from the SSP)

Verify config files

- Need to input the APV - MPD map into the MPD/APV config files.

Setup data output path

- Find where we can put the data.

Setup CODA3 environment for MPD crate ?

- May be useful for debugging problems with MPD/APVs without the SSP crate.
