Introduction

This project is a basic project demonstrating how to setup/build/run a Reconfigurable Cluster Element (RCE) project from scratch.

Requirements

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is required for this example:

• 1x Cluster On Board (COB Version 8) with 1x Digital Processing Module (DPM Version 2) and with 1x Digital Timing Module (DTM Version 2)
• No Application Specific Rear Transition Module (RTM) required for this example project
• 1x Linux Server with either a secondary 1 GigE port or a secondary 10 GigE port

Setup and Configuration

SVN Checkout: Firmware and Software

If you are building on a SLAC server:

$ cd /u1

$ svn co file:///afs/slac/g/reseng/svn/repos/ExampleRceProject/trunk ExampleRceProject

If you are building on a remote server:

$ cd /u1

$ svn co svn+ssh://$USER@rhel6-64.slac.stanford.edu/afs/slac/g/reseng/svn/repos/ExampleRceProject/trunk ExampleRceProject

• Note: $USER is your SLAC username

• Note: Add the following lines to your .ssh/config before executing svn+ssh command:

  • ControlMaster auto

  • ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p
