LNLS 100 MHz ADC RT DAQ

This description including the installation scripts can also be found here:

Git repository

The source code can be found in the following Git repository:

fmc-adc-100m14b4cha-gw

A ready to load bitstream can be found here:

The source code can be found in the following Git repository:

HALCS

The documentation can be found here:

HALCS documentation

The MMC code is among other things responsible for routing the correct clocks to the FPGA. The documentation can be found here:

open MMC

The installation was successfully tested on a Schroff MTCA-6P-PH8GSI-007 crate equipped with:

• a Concurrent Technologies CPU-Unit running CentOS 7
• an AFCv3.1 board running open MMC code, equipped with two 100 MHz ADC FMC boards.

load the bitstream file (link above) to the AFC's FPGA using Vivado Hardware Manager

on Centos 7, some additional packages might have to be installed:

3_install_HALCS.sh

#!/bin/sh

git clone --recursive https://github.com/lnls-dig/halcs && \
cd halcs && \
make && \
sudo make install

• change directory to 'foreign/pcie-driver/drivers/pcie/src' in the clone of the HALCS repository
• 'make && sudo make install'
• load kernel module: 'sudo insmod pciDriver.ko'
• check the connection to the AFC board: 'll /dev/fpga*' should not be empty

• follow the instructions: test tools
• There are test programs in the folder 'examples'
• './examples/build/exe/acq/production/afcv3_1/acq -b ipc:///tmp/malamute --halcsnumber 0 --boardslot 2 --channumber 0 --numsamples 100' will display 100 ADC samples (noise samples if nothing is connected to the ADC inputs)
• 'halcsnumber' is the index of the FMC board {0, 1}
• 'boardslot' is the AMC slot number

No functional tests have taken place yet.
