Installing CODA 2.5

Go to the ftp web page

ftp://ftp.jlab.org/pub/coda/2.5/

and save the files below into the CODA/2.5 subdirectory

I currently have the files

2.5 >ls -1

cdev_1.7.5.tar.gz

tar - CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1.tar.gz

coda.setup
codausersetup
common.tar
Linux-rhe.tar
README.InstallFAQ
README.x86-linux
VXWORKSPPC55.tar
x86-linux.tar

Unpack the tar files

tar -zxvf cdev_1.7.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1.tar.gz
tar -xvf Linux-rhe.tar
tar -xvf VXWORKSPPC55.tar
xvf x86-linux.tar
xvf common.tar

remove the tar archives

rm *.gz
rm *.tar

Here is what my directory structure looks like now

2.5 >ls -1
cdev_1.7.5

Setup the environment variables

Set environmental variables in file codauserscript

#!/bin/csh
echo Setting up coda 2.5 on $HOST
 setenv CODA /usr/local/coda/2.5
source $CODA/coda.setup
# Point to msqld on my host
setenv MSQL_TCP_HOST daq1
setenv MSQL_HOME $CODA/common/rcdb
# My database/session
setenv EXPID LDS
setenv SESSION test
# CMLOG browser (cmlog) setup file
setenv CMLOG_CONFIG /usr/local/CMLOG/cmlogrc
# broadcast message port must match that in /usr/local/CMLOG/cmlog.config
setenv CMLOG_PORT 8102
# User specific env variables
setenv CODA_DIRECTORY /home/daq/CODA
setenv CODA_DATA /data1
cd ~/CODA

X windows needs

CODA 2.5 requires libXm.so.3

Using CentOS 5 you need to install openmotif to get libXm.o.3

yum install opentmotif22-2.2.3-18-i386

Stopped installation here

Installing CODA 2.6

Information source

CODA wiki

Instructions to start up CODA

It appears you only need two processes now to run CODA, "platform" and "rcgui". It is probably still wise to have a terminal open monitoring the ROC

To run coda2.6 platform:

source /home/daq/CODA/2.6/setup
cd $AFECS_HOME/bin
platform

To run coda2.6 run-control

source /home/daq/CODA/2.6/setup
cd $AFECS_HOME/bin
rcgui -name g1

Following packages are installed: Java location: /home/daq/Java/jdk1.6.0_17

Afecs-1.3 location: /home/daq/CODA/2.6.1/Afecs-1.3

Following files were modified: ~/.tcshrc /home/daq/CODA/2.6/setup /home/daq/CODA/2.6.1/Afecs-1.3/db/setup.xml

ftp://ftp.jlab.org/pub/coda/2.6/

and save the files below into the CODA/2.6 subdirectory

I currently have the files

Errors setting up rcplatform

set environment variables

setenv COOL_HOME /usr/local/coda/2.6/cool

setenv AFECS_HOME /usr/local/coda/2.6/afecs/1.0

got the error message

2.6 >rcplatform
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin/java: Command not found.

setenv JAVA_HOME /usr

got the error

2.6 >rcplatform

Vardan recommended running "ant" from the subdirectory

/usr/local/coda/2.6/afecs/1.0/

I had to install "ant" for this so I logged in as root and typed

yum install ant

I now have

1.0 >ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on January 6 2007

The error message running ant is

Readout Library Git Repository

All right. I've updated the 'devel' branch of the mkLinuxvmeDist repo. v792 and v785 repos were added, and I've made them publicly available in the JeffersonLab github organization.

Found a bug, as well. It might've taken me awhile to notice it, if you hadn't emailed me.

Sure.. it's here: https://github.com/JeffersonLab/mkLinuxvmeDist.git

The 'devel' branch has the most recent updates.

Installing CODA 2.6.1

Information source

CODA wiki

Software infrastructure

1.) RHEL4 or higher (RHEL5 issues are addressed in "examples/rhel5")

~>less /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 5.3 (Final)

2.) you need to install scons for Redhat

I downloaded the READhat version and did

rpm -i scons-1.3.0-1.noarch.rpm

2.) next you need to be sure Java sdk 1.6 or higher is installed (/apps/java/jdk1.6.0_03)

Looking on my maching I saw

~>java --version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)

went to http://java.sun.com/

and got the file

jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin

as root I did

chmod a+x jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin

It said

Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 successfully installed.

but the install version is same as above

package jdk-1.6.0_20-fcs.i586 is already installed

It seems the rpm file does not install java onto the system but into its own directory

OK, I will unstall java under the DAQ account and use environmental variables to set the default java

2.6.1 >printenv | grep JAVA
2.6.1 >JAVA_HOME=/home/daq/Java/jdk1.6.0_17
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)

4.) VxWorks 5.5 Kernel and cross compiler (/site/vxworks/5.5/ppc/host/x86-linux/bin)

My ROC is set to load the kernel at

/home/daq/CODA/VXWorks/vx6100_v4.1

this seems to be V 5.5.1

5.) change your ROC boot script to support Multicasts

add the line

Add Routes for Multicast Support

mRouteAdd("224.0.0.0","129.57.29.0",0xf0000000,0,0)

where the subnet 129.57.29.0 should be replaced by your local subnet.

for me this is

Add Routes for Multicast Support

mRouteAdd("224.0.0.0","10.1.1.0",0xf0000000,0,0)

Environmental Variables

The script below sets up the environmental variables for running CODA

in particular the logMessage processes are taken out and the cMsg and new ROC libraries loaded.

Start up the CODA components

I didn't have the cMsg shared object directory in my path so

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/daq/ROOT/root/lib:/usr/local/coda/2.6.1/Linux/lib:/site/coda/cdev_1.7.5/lib/Linux:/home/daq/CODA/2.6.1/cMsg/Linux-i686/lib/

start up the usual

et_start

coda_eb_rc3.3 -i -s DAQ -n eb1 -t CDEB

coda_er_rc3 -i -s DAQ -n LDS_ER -t ER

then start up the runcontrol gui

rcgui

Start the Run control GUI

run the Run control gui with the command

rcgui

First time session creation

You need to convert your old data base to the new one using the "Option" menu

Option->CODA2 Database->Session

I selected the only one listed which was "DAQ"

I then selected the Control->Connect menus item and The tools icon became active.

Now you need to transfer one of the run configurations into the new data base

Option->CODA2 Database->Run Types

I selected the SIS3610 run type since this is my trigger supervisor.

ROC error message

Connecting to ROC failed

-> Running the cMsg RC client, "roc1"

 connecting to UDL, cMsg:rc://multicast/LDS

The ROC is not registering with "platform" as I do not see any messages in the platform window

using codamaster

the program codamaster is a Tcl based GUI for launching CODA processes like event recorder, event builder, the ET system, and run control.

You need to edit the codamaster script located in $CODA_BIN/codamaster to identify the event builder and recorder names so the global variables read

set ERNAME "LDS_ER"
set EBNAME "eb1"

after that all you neet to do to get the DAQ running is to launch "platform" and "codamaster" once you set up the environment by doing

source ~/CODA/2.6.1/setup

you will also want to open up a minicom session (as root) with the ROC to monitor messages

Installing CODA 2.6.2

Startup CODA programs

source CODA/2.6.2/setup

start up msqld, et_start, rcplatform

coda_eb_rc3 -i -s DAQ -n eb1 -t CDEB

coda_er_rc3 -i -s DAQ -n LDS_ER -t ER

login to the ROC (rocdaq1) and start the process

coda_roc_rc3 -t ROC -n rocdaq1

Running codamaster

1.) the dpwish distribution looks for

/home/daq/CODA/2.6.2/Linux/bin/dpwish: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

CentOS6 uses

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

so I installed the older version using yum

sudo yum install libstdc++.so.5

2.) codamaster looks for a msqld with the LDS experiment defined in the data bas.

I copied the msql data base from daq1.

Intel ROCS

The readoutlists and the ROC libraries are all compiled on the Linux ROC
Before they were cross compiled on the host machine for VxWorks

run the program below on the ROC

coda_roc_rc3 -t ROC -n rocdaq1 -msqld_host 134.50.3.12

Note: I copied the CODA subdirectory to the ROC

Compiling SIS3610

On the ROC computer you should have the subdirectory called linuxvme

 LINUXVME_INC = /root/linuxvme/include
 LINUXVME_LIB = /root/linuxvme/lib

You'll need to compile it with

make

New way of compiling the .crl's. Just make them with

make -f Makefile-rol gen_int_list.so

The .so's you'll need to include in the database (instead of the vxWorks .o files).

There's a test program in the "test" directory to test the interrupt capability of the sis3610. You can compile that with

 make

then run it with

 s3610LibTest

You will probably have to modify the sis3610 VME address within the source code.

All this assumes you've set up your environment variables:

 LINUXVME_INC
 LINUXVME_LIB

to their proper locations.

Now setup ROC script

Installing CMLOG

I copied the binary files at /site/coda/cmlog over to /home/daq/CODA/2.5

~/CODA >scp -r tforest@ftp.jlab.org:/site/coda/CMLOG ./

start msql

startup msql deamon

msqld

and let in run

reboot ROC and check that all the libraries loaded

Create Run Configuration

Be sure the msql database is running

~/CODA >msqld
mSQL Server 1.0.16coda starting ...
setjmp returned 0
Checking Authority to use databases in /usr/local/coda/common/rcdb
loading administration ACL msql.acl
admin ACL loaded
loading ACL for database LDS 
Warning : Couldn't open ACL file: No such file or directory
database LDS ACL loaded.
ACL load done

cedit

CODA uses the msql database to hold information reguarding host computer names, IP adresses, output files, and others. You can create your first data base entry using cedit and then edit it like a spreadsheet using dbedit. Below is an example of a simple database configuration after installing all the components using cedit.

create another window startup cedit

create a new database using the "File" menu "New Database"

I gave it the name "LDS"

I quit cedit and restarted to check that it was still there.

now add components

create and event builder

click on the icon for the event builder (blocks being assembled)

Name: eb1
Ethernet Host:134.50.3.210 ! this is the daq1 IP address
ID # : 1

created a roc

click on the 2nd icon below the gun which looks like the image below

Name: roc1
Ethernet Host: 134.50.3.216 Id Number: 2 Booting String $CODA_BIN/coda_roc Readout List:$CODA/readoutlist/SIS3610/gen_int_list.crl

connect ROC and EB

You create a connection from the ROC to the EB by clicking on the green square on the ROC a drwaing a red line to a green square on the EB.

create an Event Recorder (ER) button

click on the image which looks like a cassette tape:

This will create and event recorder component which you will then conenct to a output file component

create an output file component

click on the icon which looks like a bullseye to create an output file component

connect ER and output file

Click on the ER's green tab to draw a red line from the ER to a green tab on the output file component.

created coda file output

clicking on bullseye like symbol in cedit

then clicked on green scquares to tie EB to bullseye

dbedit

I usually check everything using dbedit. It is a spreadsheet like interface allowing you to edit data base cells.

using dbedit:

to get DBEDIT to run I had to add the following to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

so now I have

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/CMLOG/lib/Linux:${CODA}/Linux-rhe/lib:${CODA}/cdev_1.7.5/lib/Linux-rh9

${CODA}/cdev_1.7.5/lib/Linux-rh9

codamaster

setenv KILL_CODA_SCRIPT

then run codamaster

everything was reported as down.

10.) had comment line in $CODA_BIN/makelist

$CODA_BIN/fb_strip < $DOING_FILE.i.c > $DOING_FILE.c

5.) rcServer

I needed to setup the shared library path so it searches the CMLOG libs byadding the line below to the "setup" script unser $CODA

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/CMLOG/lib/Linux

6.) msql configureation

UROC daq1

7.) edit /etc/hosts added line for daq1

edited /etc/sysconfig

edited /etc/resolve

added search line for physics

8.) edited binary file output

11.) codamaster ( can be used to start coda rocs EB and ER...)

setenv KILL_CODA_SCRIPT

coda_roc -i -s -n DAQ -s UROC -t ROC

to make a virtual roc to run native on the Linux host

makelist test_list.crl native

Readoutlist

makelist gen_int_list.crl ppc

return to DAQ page
