• Step 0: MAKE SURE POWER IS ON
• Step 1: Installing firm ware over fiber of known working firmware version (deployed) 

• Expand
  title Step 2: Check if firmware have been loaded correctly
  $ python epix10kaDAQ.py GitHashShort is more important

  title Step 3: How to search for get HASH
  How do you know it is the correct version to be using?

OVER JTAG (joint test action group) (USING QUADS AS NORMALLY DONE THIS WAY)

• Ref
  • ePix Generation 2 bring up and testing
    • Line 5 has eProms
  • Quad bring-up and testing (pgp3)
    • Line 7 has eProms
• Difference are: eProms and firmware image
• Cloning repo
  • $ cd ~/IC_projects/ 

  • $ git clone --recursive git@github.com:slaclab/epix-quad

• Does not mater if fiber or sensor is plugged in, working under assumption it is bare board

• In the case of the Quad, can power digital board by itself
• Power on the board–wait till current stabilizes 
• $ cd epix-quad/firmware/
• $ source setup_env.sh
  
  • Sets up Vivado – dev env for Xlinks (full integrated dev env)
• $ vivado &
• In Vivado
  • Flow → Hardware Manger
  • 
  • Auto Connect
    • Should see a green light on the Xilnx box
  • What it found as connected device
    • 
  • 
    • Program Device... → Specifies the bit file for programing the FPGA ← can just be doing this one only
      • volitile program, so will need to reprogram after powercycle
    • Configuration... → Specifies the ePROM that your writing the image too
      • So don't have to reprogram after power cycle
  • FLOW FOR ePROM → Select ADD Configuration Memory Device...
    •

    • 
    • MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IMAGE FILES *.mcs in /firmware/.../image/*.mcs
    • 
    • This is last step...
