The ZIP file below contains the HDL source code to download into the V1495

http://www.physics.isu.edu/~tforest/DAQ/GEMReadout_V1495Source_Rev1_0.zip

The ZIP file below contains the ROC library

http://www.physics.isu.edu/~tforest/DAQ/GEMReadout_VxWorkxSource_11_26_2008.zip


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.

400 px

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()

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

Bryon Moffit's readoutlist

Bryan Moffit distributed a new readoutlist which simplifies Ben Raydo's library for using the V1495 as a trigger supervisor.

The v1495 library is in the subdirectory

/home/daq/CODA/2.5/readoutlist/miniTS


the readoutlist is in the subdirectory

/home/daq/CODA/2.5/readoutlist/v1495trig


after compiling the module library in the directory

/home/daq/CODA/2.5/readoutlist/miniTS

you need to move is to the ROClib subdirectory

/home/daq/CODA/ROClibs/libs

the load it into the ROC with the command

ld < miniTSlib.o

Boot procedure for the V1495 with VxWorks

The current V1495 firmware (V3) has a bug in which the V1495 won't load the VME firmware because it believes it is in a Reset State. In order to release the reset state following the boot procedure below:

  1. Turn off the VME by the red switch then turn the switch on.
  1. After around 6s , push the reset button (if you keep an eye on ROC1 as it boots, you will see a green light, then it will disappear around that time, by that time V1495 records a reset once, by pushing the reset button manually, the 2nd reset is recorded by the module).
  1. In a terminal window:
telnet roc1

When the connection is established, load the library:

ld < v1495Lib.o

Test if V1495 is on by the command

v1495test(0x80110000);

The follwing message appears:

 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...
