Firmware
Today we started looking at the VHDL firmware programs from Ben Raydo at JLab. Our goal: To determine what the general description of the firmware program is and determine an outline of its functionality.
Quartus II
Quartus II has a fairly good tutorial for usage. My goal is to complete this tutorial by the end of the week.
I also started to familiarize myself with the VHDL programming language.
5/15/09
Spent vast majority of day learning VHDL syntax.
Spent some time reviewing the GEM Readout Controller Firmware Status
Spent some time reviewing the v1495 instruction manual ( the Quartus II instructions in particular )
Spent some time reviewing the VFAT instruction manual
- Is there a primer somewhere on how to communicate via/with VME?
