Some more notes about flashing digitizers or triggers:

  1. Log into dgs account on dgs1
  2. Get digitizer.bin from directory /Digitizer/MAIN_FPGA/Work11_DGS
  3. copy to /home/dgs/tmadden/DGSDigFirmware or /home/dgs/tmadden/DGSTrigFirmware
  4. cd /home/dgs/tmadden/swWork/workspace/epicsClient/src
  5. issue following: java -classpath jca-2.3.5.jar:caj-1.1.9.jar:fpgasender.jar plotControl
  6. copy and paste below

epics.epics_init();
var fn0=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/swWork/workspace/epicsClient/src/asynRecords.txt");
var fn1=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/retfile.bin");
epics.connectPVs(fn0);
var digware=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/DGSDigFirmware/MSTR_digitizer_20200722.bin");
var slvware=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/DGSDigFirmware/SLAVE_digitizer_20200602.bin");
var mastware=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/DGSTrigFirmware/trigger_top_20160626.bin");
var routware=new String("/home/dgs/tmadden/DGSTrigFirmware/router_top_20160601.bin");

-NOTE: Need to define add current name of master, slave digitizer bin files and trigger & router bin file names
-NOTE: If bin file name is wrong, program will still try to flash and result will be yellow fever.
-NOTE: The asynRecords.txt file defines the active crates. If you get a missing PV during setup, edit this file or better yet, make a new one and assign it instead.

If you get this far, you are now ready to flash the individual digitizers

  • To flash digitizer type epics.sendFpga(digware, fn1, 1, 0,1, 1, 1);
    • This line sends the firmware file defined in digware to the board.
    • The args of the function are defined as:   
      • Firmwarename, ret file name, Crate num, Board num, erase, program, verify
    • IN the above function, we send digware to crate 1, board 0 and erase, program and verify the fpga.
  • To Update the FPGA so it runs the new firmware. ON the dig boards there is a PV called GLBL:DIG:config_main_fpga that will reconfigure ALL digitizer FPGAs in DGS. This is convenient.
  • To update a single FPGA, say in VME1, we use VME01:DIG1:config_main_fpga. Simple write a 1 to these PVs to reconfig the FPGAs.
  • For the Trigger crate, a power cycle is needed. CSS screens have controls for these PVs. The easiest is on the Global Control screen accessible from the main DGSCommander screen. Simply hit the button for config main fpga to reconfigure ALL digitizer FPGAs. Trigger FPGAs are not affected.

For master trigger<br\> epics.sendFpga(mastware, fn1, 0, 0,1, 1, 1);<br\>

For routers
epics.sendFpga(routware, fn1, 0, 1,1, 1, 1);<br\> epics.sendFpga(routware, fn1, 0, 2,1, 1, 1);<br\> epics.sendFpga(routware, fn1, 0, 3,1, 1, 1);<br\>

add these for FMA

epics.sendFpga(routware, fn1, 0, 4,1, 1, 1); epics.sendFpga(routware, fn1, 0, 5,1, 1, 1);
