This page describes how to compile and run the RCE teststand software at SLAC and CERN. Checking out the packages from SLAC CVS requires a SLAC Unix login account. Required steps are identical for the SLAC and CERN environment unless otherwise mentioned.

Time slots are CERN time (CET or CEST).

Setting the RCE development environment (C-Shell)
| Code Block |
|---|
source /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.csh |
...
Setup for Bourne-Shell
| Code Block |
|---|
source /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh |
Or adding the
...
following lines to $HOME/.bash_profile
| Code Block |
|---|
if [ ! -r /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh ]; then
source /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null

Checking out and setting up the RCE and STControl/PixLib packages into a directory. The setup scripts assume that top RCE release directory is found in $HOME/rce.
...
HOME should point to /reg/lab1/home/$USER. Several release installations should be managed by symbolic links.
| Code Block |
|---|
[BUILD_HOST] mkdir $HOME/RCE [BUILD_HOST] cd $HOME/RCE [BUILD_HOST] cvs co -d rcecalib-CVS-HEAD release [BUILD_HOST] cd $HOME [BUILD_HOST] ln -s RCE/rcecalib-CVS-HEAD rce [BUILD_HOST] cd rce [BUILD_HOST] cvs co pixlib rce rceapp rceers rceowl rcecalib rceipc rceusr [BUILD_HOST] cp rcecalib/projects.mk.template projects.mk [BUILD_HOST} patch -p0 < rcecalib/rce.patchrceis rceoh rceusr |
Building the RCE and
...
STControl/pixlib packages.
Note: for some RCE the
...
code needs to be compiled compiled with the RCE_INTERFACE=1
...
. The default setting is RCE_INTERFACE=0 (see table above)
| Code Block |
|---|
[BUILD_HOST] make i386-linux
[BUILD_HOST] make ppc-rtems-rce405-opt RCE_INTERFACE=1

- Start ipc initial and 'rcetest' partition
Code Block [IPC_HOST] ipc_server & [IPC_HOST] ipc_server -p rcetest & [IPC_HOST} is_server -p rcetest -n RceIsServer & - Download the calibration server application to the RCE.
Code Block host_bootloader -r rce31 -s cmdcalib.txt -i ~/ipc_root.ref -l ~/rce/build/rcecalib/mod/ppc-rtems-rce405-opt/calibservermod.1.0.prod.so - cmdcalib.txt contains commands executed by host_bootloader. For example
Code Block reboot setenv TDAQ_PARTITION rcetest setenv TDAQ_IS_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD 100000000 reboot
- Run the command line calibration client on the SLAC Lab1 teststand; the module is connected to channel 4.
