SLAC Teststand Setup

Basic info: 

• ATCA shelf and COB connected to:  rdusr219
• Shelf name, IP: lbne1_0102,192.168.1.254
• RCE SDK path:  /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/cci/volumes/vol1/sdimages/sdk/current (To get env: source /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/cci/volumes/vol1/sdimages/sdk/V3.3.0/i86-linux-64/tools/envs-sdk.sh)
• RCE Soft/Firmware path:  /u1/hps/heavy-photon-daq
  • https://github.com/slaclab/heavy-photon-daq/releases/tag/release-4.1-run2016
• The HPS COB is in ATCA slot #2; slot #1 is used by other groups.
• DHPC server config: /u1/dhcp/dnsmasq.local.conf      (restart server with:  sudo service restart dnsmasq)

Setup of RCE bootloader for diskless booting: (based on this page)

    ssh (or minicom via usb) to DTM (192.168.2.221)

    minicom bay<bay>.<RCE>              (bay is 0-3 <4 is the DTM> and RCE is 0 or 2 <NOT 1>)

    From rdusr219 (with SDK env): cob_rce_reset 192.168.1.254/2/<bay>/<RCE>

    Interrupt boot sequence by pressing any key in minicom

    Apply the default u-boot environment:

        zynq-uboot> env default -a

        zynq-uboot> setenv modeboot nfsboot

        zynq-uboot> setenv bootdelay 3

        zynq-uboot> saveenv

        zynq-uboot> reset

In order to down/upload to github, set up a tunnel between rhel6-64 and rdusr219.  See Proto-DUNE: How to setup a temporary tunnel for github for a recipe.  

The HPS RCEs boot in "diskless mode" via NFS.  For info about this, see RCE Diskless Node (NFS).

TO DO:

Install RCE NFS boot from scratch with rdusr219 as nfs host (3 bays finished)

Understand what is needed to setup local runs w/o CODA

Discuss logging and hostnames with Sergio

Procure STAK 3 cable to power VME crate and connect into local network
