2. VME Configuration
2.1. VME Address
Address = slot << 19
| slot | address | slot | address | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 0x180000 | 13 | 0x680000 | |
| 4 | 0x200000 | 14 | 0x700000 | |
| 5 | 0x280000 | 15 | 0x780000 | |
| 6 | 0x300000 | 16 | 0x800000 | |
| 7 | 0x380000 | 17 | 0x880000 | |
| 8 | 0x400000 | 18 | 0x900000 | |
| 9 | 0x480000 | 19 | 0x980000 | |
| 10 | 0x500000 | 20 | 0xA00000 |
2.1.1. Address DIP switches
2.1.2. DIP switch settings
2.2. U90 DIP Switches
- controls EEPROM update source
- ON for Update over VME
3. MCS Files
3.1. Processing FPGA - update FIRST
- processes of ADC samples
- encodes pulse parameters into data words
typical filename format
FADC250_V2_TOP_ver0C14.mcs
3.2. Control FPGA - update LAST
- everything else
- VME access to control and status registers
- VME readout of data words
- Firmware update over VME
typical filename format
CTRL_FPGA_V2_TOP_ver52.mcs
4. Running program for one module
fadcFirmwareUpdate <firmware MCS file> <FADC VME ADDRESS>
5. Running program for all modules
fadcGFirmwareUpdate <firmware MCS file>
