• Activity updates
  • Still need to work on the specification document on Overleaf; Paul will again try to work on that over the next two weeks
  • Michael reports that the testing system is set up. Jie had done a bandwidth test, and it looked good. Michael has the cross-talk tests set up for the first board and will hand that off to Brynne to test all of the boards.
  • Daryl and Bryerton have rechecked the cross-talk with their test setup and they didn't really see anything
  • Bryan isn't on the meeting, so we'll need to check in with him separately
  • The reconfiguration of the test lab has been slower than planned due to work on the upcoming SBS run in Hall A
  • Armen has received the files for the chassis and would be ready to send the design out to the company
    • Michael proposes that we'd be ready to go to the full production run of the boards in May.
    • Even with the few minor changes that we want to fix, Daryl doesn't think any mechanical changes would be needed, so the chassis can likely go to production once we've checked the fit with prototype 2.
    • Michael comments that in the chassis they have been working with at Manitoba, the screws can't be used to secure the standoffs to the board as they interfere with the FPGA SoM insertion. Daryl thinks that's probably okay, but we'd need to be careful not to flex the board when removing the SoM.
      • Daryl suggests trying to use wafer-head screws to secure the heatsync to the SoM, to see if that removes the interference, but he'll also look to see if he can add another location that we can add another standoff
  • Michael asks when we expect the new VME TI boards; William expects them to come in about April.
