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?
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.
