Installing Firmware

• ePix Notes (Dan's) 

• Step 0: MAKE SURE POWER IS ON
• Step 1 to 2:
  • Installing firm ware over fiber of known working firmware version (deployed) 
•  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...

      • Search

      • Type	Search
        Single	mt25ql256
        Quad	S25FL512

    • 
    • Look in target/<what ever device and rate>/image/<some mcs file>
    • MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IMAGE FILES *.mcs in /firmware/.../image/*.mcs
