    STEP 0 (only good if you know the firmware and can program over fiber)

    • Where is firmware located?
    • Check out branch that is "actively" being updated
      • Code Block
        languagebash
        titleChecking out branch
        $ cd IC_projects/epix
        # where I have my local git repo
        $ git checkout rogue_v5.14
        $ git branch
        # make sure you see that you're in branch rogue_v5.14
        $ git pull
        # make sure "Already up to date."
      • Image Removed

    • Repo is setup, rogue version is specified, have script for programing over fiber
    • Checking if MCS file is there
      • $ cd firmware/targets/Epix10ka/images/
    • Load the MCS file, but make sure number is same as firmware: See ePix Notes (Dan's) 
    • Image Removed
    • Another first time step... need to unzip
      • $ gunzip *
        • Will remove source files, but don't worry they are version controlled 
    • Actually loading the MCS file...
    • Code Block
      languagebash
      titleLoading MCS
      $ cd ~/IC_projects/epix/software/Epix/
      $ source setup_template.sh
      $ cd scripts/
      $ python epixGen2LoadFpga.py --mcs=../../../firmware/targets/Epix10ka/images/Epix10ka-0xE2040002-20210715112919-mkwiatko-328bae7.mcs
    • Don't worry abut warnings, if you get an error, find a firmware engineer to help...

    • If written correctlyImage Removedignore errors after this...Step 0: Installing firm ware over fiber of known working firmware version (deployed)
