Table of Contents Motivation of the VME ROD Project Interface hardware and software setup Past accomplishments Goals and plan for Spring 2014 Summary
Motivation of the VME ROD Project Deploy a VME ROD based test system for Pixel DAQ using ATLAS Pixel ROD and IBLROD Software/Firmware Development and Implementation ROD/BOC system SLC5 + TDAQ-04-00-01 Pixel ROD Rev E (from Iowa) eBOC (From John Joseph) ePPO (To be discussed) FEI3 Pixel Module (From Maurice) SLC6 + TDAQ5 IBLROD Rev C (from LBNL) BOC (From Tobias Flick) FEI4 Pixel Module (Confirmation Required)
Interface hardware and software Setup: SLC5 VME Pixel ROD Pixlab 05 CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E6550/2.33Ghz Memory : 8173.972 Mb Linux Version – Scientific Linux CERN 5 Kernel : 2.6.18-371.4.1.el5PAE Installed Software : TDAQ-04-00-01 IBLDAQ-0-0-0-10838 Single Board Computer Model : VP-CP1 (Concurrent Technologies) CPU : Pentium III/851.987 Mhz Memory : 246.052 Mb Linux Version – Scientific Linux CERN 5 Kernel : 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5.sbc VME Slot 1 Second Local Network (Sharing storage) VME Crate ATLAS Pixel ROD Model : ATLAS ROD for SCT/Pixel Rev E Manufacturer : University of Wisconsin VME Slot 10 (Currently under inspection) Control via terminal remote control

VME Pixel ROD Setup SBC Interface Pixlab05 VME Crate
Past Accomplishments Second Local Network between the Pixlab05 and Single Board Computer has been established with necessary NFS-shared directories Necessary software TDAQ-04-00-01 and IBLDAQ-0-0-0-10838 have been installed and debugged for the current hardware environment (supports USBPIX) VME Interface between the Pixel ROD and the Single Board Computer has been established with necessary VME drivers installed The 3.3V power problem on the Pixel ROD has been studied and sent to John Joseph for an inspection
Goals for Spring 2014 (Tentative) Hardware Successful setup of a full DAQ readout chain for FEI3 module FEI3 Module/ePP0 (Optoboard)/eBOC/Pixel ROD/ROBIN Card (ROS) Understanding of each component in the chain (ePP0, eBOC and ROBIN) Understand the ROD Architecture and its data path firmware (Formatter, Event Fragment Builder, Router, Controller) Software (In the mean time while ROD is under inspection) Study and analyze the ‘Athena Framework’ Setup a DummyPixController
