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.

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?

How about this http://www.vita.com/vmefaq.html

I need to write down how to get into the DAQ as well as ROC xterm windows.

Tamuna can show you the above

From the manual on the VFAT2: Are we using the Roman Pots or the GEM version for the channel assignments?
