In a few months, we will have to support running the ePix100 in both the LCLS-I and LCLS-II DAQ. The detector will have to have different fiirmware for running in the different DAQs. The process of flashing them back and forth is described below.


Setup:

The detector will be flashed using the JTAG on the communication board. The setup to do this can be seen in the figure below:


The aluminium casing on the fiber transiver side needs to first be removed in order to get access to the JTAG connector. The camera is then connected to the flashing laptop via the HW-USB-II-G AMD box:
