Context and architecture overview - After LS1, equipment groups will be responsible for their own systems/FECs and will provide first line support for them - Some controls-related FEC functionalities are generic and is provided by CO - CGFES (CO Generic Front-end Software) provides FESA classes supporting the following functionalities: Function generation Digital input/output Analog input/output Delay of pulses - COHAL = CO Hardware Abstraction Layer Applications / Working sets / Knobs InCA/LSA/AcqCore CMW FESA framework CGFES (FESA classes) COHAL Driverlib Driver Firmware FEC module Field bus Machine hardware Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013 Objectives Migrate a maximum number of GM devices to FESA3 Migrate a maximum number of FESA2 devices to FESA3 Align the COHAL layer with CO standards Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Progress COHAL now conforms to CO standards Moved to Make generic Releasing to SVN as <project>/<project-product> Deploying using major.minor.tiny versioning Documentation re-enabled and linked with CGFES Wiki https://wikis.cern.ch/display/CGFES/CGFES No support for LynxOS in new version Compiles for SLC5 and SLC6 Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Progress COHAL now provides diagnostics Exceptions standardized and catchable by FESA cmwLogging integrated CMX integrated New timing library (timdt) integrated No timing service provided to FESA classes Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Experiences and suggestions Product Issue Suggestion / comment CCDB Migration of instance data Class-by-Class solution involving expert Promotion requires manual DU renaming/deletion Solved: Tool available since Tuesday 19 Nov Event mapping FESA2 -> FESA3 Automate FESA Rolling buffer Seems to work now USER.ALL Solved: isRealUser() Alarm key length check Todo Plugin functionality – guidance and reporting Issues solved CMX/CLIC CMX atomic operations (SIP4C, 13 Nov 2013) Must be stabilized soon CLIC agents not up to date Update for CMX compatibility Timing Crash of timdt on initialization Reported as fixed yesterday, not yet tested by CGFES Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Experiences and suggestions Product Issue Suggestion Driver Bugs – ICV196, Fine-Delay, CVORB load delay Pre-release testing driverLib Deploy-location not clear Decide deploy location Deploy-approach not as in other projects Follow CO convention of project/product based Versioning Follow CO convention of major.minor.tiny Firmware Bugs – Fine-Delay address space, CVORB loading No release/deploy management Implement release/deployment management Different version in operational modules Test procedure in connection with physical installation Hardware Failures – Fine-delay Test stand for testing modules Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013 Conclusions Changes in many components lead to big debugging overhead COHAL layer aligned with CO conventions CGFES FESA3 development 90% done, will be ready on time Device migrations will be ready on time Required in order to prepare for operation: Stabilize FESA / CCDB Stabilize CMX driverLib versioning, preferably as project/product Firmware deployment procedure Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013
