High-Level Design

A FESA class for IPC and MTCA based camera readout is available and can be used.

Device Drivers and Firmware

• Implementation of the CCD into the FESA class requires the vendor CCD library.
• CPS8 unit is based on individual firmware/software, SCR FESA class will communicate with the CPS8 via LAN.
• Pexaria, AMC FTRN and the Dual Port LAN adapter require compatible drivers.

Operating System

The FEC (AMC or IPC) will load its OS via PXEboot over the network. As OS an up to date CentOS version with RT patch (kernel.org) is foreseen.
