The ZIP file below contains the ROC library

ROC lib
compile library
To compile the ROC library I executed the following command within the subdirectory containing the v1495.c file
ccppc -fno-builtin -fno-for-scope -fstrength-reduce -mlongcall -mcpu=604 -DCPU=PPC604 -DVXWORKS -D_GNU_TOOL -DVXWORKSPPC -I/usr/local/coda/2.5/common/include/ -I../h -c -o v1495Lib.o -i v1495.c
load library onto the ROC
I then copies the library v1495Lib.o into my ROC library subdirectory which is where the ROC is pooing at boot up
/home/daq/CODA/ROClibs/libs
I loaded the library by hand by typing the following at the ROC console
-> ld < v1495Lib.o value = 268430512 = 0xfffecb0
Setting address
The address pins on this module are not labeled so I adopted the convention of numbering them from left to right as I look from the front pannel.
| Address | |
| Pin | Setting |
| SW 3 | 0 |
| SW 4 | 8 |
| SW 7 | 1 |
| SW 8 | 1 |
probing memory
I set the switches as follows
sw3 sw4 sw7 sw8
0 8 1 1
And the following is a printout of my board:
(0x80118000 - A32 0x90118000 - A24)

v1495test function
The v1495 library has the function below which when
//v1495test()
int
v1495test(unsigned int baseaddr)
{
// the address location below starts at the USER FPGA access location which is
//0x8000 lower in memory than the dial switches for the module address location.
// if SW3=0 SW4=8 SW7=1 SW8=1 => 0x80118000 is the 32 bit address and 0x90118000 is the 24 bit adresss
// then try v1495test(0x80110000)
volatile V1495 *v1495 = (V1495 *) baseaddr;
unsigned short *data16 = (unsigned short *)&(v1495->control);
printf("Control [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->control),v1495->control);
printf("firmwareRev [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->firmwareRev),v1495->firmwareRev);
printf("selflashVME [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->selflashVME),v1495->selflashVME);
printf("flashVME [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->flashVME),v1495->flashVME);
printf("selflashUSER [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->selflashUSER),v1495->selflashUSER);
printf("flashUSER [0x%08x] = 0x%04x\n",&(v1495->flashUSER),v1495->flashUSER);

Download Firmware
To download the firmware to the USER FPGA area you need to pass the address which is 0x8000 below what the dial setting are
for example the dial settings are
| Address | |
| Pin | Setting |
| SW 3 | 0 |
| SW 4 | 8 |
| SW 7 | 1 |
| SW 8 | 1 |
Instead of the address of the control register (which corresponds to the dial settings) You need to pass the memory address of the USER FPGA access which is 0x8000 lower in memory
for example
v1495firmware(0x80110000,"GEMReadout.rbf",0,0)
and NOT v1495firmware(0x80118000,"GEMReadout.rbf",0,0)
it took about 10 minutes to download
-> v1495firmware(0x80110000,"GEMReadout.rbf",0,0);

Now power cycle the VME crate
after the power cycle you should see the firmwareRev change from 0x0003

minits.c
Example usage for VxWorks using interrupts.
Alternatively you can run this in polling mode by:
1) calling MiniTSPollTrig() repeatedly to see if a trigger has been generated
2) when MiniTSPollTrig() = 1 readout your DAQ modules, then call MiniTSAck() to acknowledge trigger so another can be generated
V1495MiniTS.rbf
This is the USER FPGA code I put together for you. Be sure to load this to the USER space and not the VME one!
V1495VME_rev_1.1.rbf
This is the VME FPGA code from CAEN (32bit mode with interrupt support). Be sure to load this to the VME space.
After you load the "V1495VME_rev_1.1.rbf" VME FPGA and "V1495MiniTS.rbf" USER FPGA reboot your crate and check the following: 1) v1495 offset 0x800C contains the firmware revision of the VME FPGA and should be 1.1. You must do a 16bit read to check this. (if not make sure your STD/BKP jumper on the V1495 is set to the position you loaded the VME FPGA firmware to)
2) run 'MiniTS_Init <a24_addr>', where <a24_addr> should be the hexadecimal A24 address of your board. This function will verify that the USER FPGA is loaded.
Here's an example of what I get when I run this:
Command: -> MiniTS_Init 0x530000
Output: MiniTS_Init() started...
