• Michael
  • rev2 status
    • All the PCBs are done (38 for MOLLER and 12 for P2)
    • The first 10 boards and the socket issue preventing booting; two were fixed at TRIUMF, two were fixed in Toronto and returned to Manitoba, the other six are being sent to China for the socket repair
    • All four of the fixed boards now work without problems, after a firmware update
    • Bittele now has the go-ahead to assemble the rest of the boards.
  • One of the boards has been tested with the fiber readout.
    • Can take 4 seconds with almost full sampling with no skipped samples. Have zero alignment errors in the data
  • The firmware block "subsystem_capture" does the integration mode readout.
    • It is disabled right now.
    • It needs an "enable" and "start" signal coming from the TI; Bryerton says this ought to be fairly straightforward
  • One of Michael's boards has an issue booting from PoE; he is going to send it to Daryl to look at. Daryl will send the other two back to Michael.
• Daryl
  • He is getting someone else in his group, Chris Pearsen, to pick up the firmware updates for the enable and start
• Bryan
  • He is able to run the ROC on the ADC, and he has a ROC that can readout the TI block. This is on a rev1 board.
  • In Bryan's test he was using a VME TI to send the clock and trigger to the integrator
  • Michael will send one of the rev2 boards to Bryan soon.
  • Bryan hasn't looks at the DMA portion to get the ADC data yet
• Michael says that Bryerton had to turn off some part of the firmware for the TI
  • He'll ask Bryerton to send more details to he and Bryan
• Arindam and Chris will get together to hand off a helicity decoder board. The driver library is available at https://code.jlab.org/fedaq/drivers/helicity_decoder
• Simona will meet with Bill Gunning tomorrow to get the FADCv3 modules and then store them with the ESB test stand
  • Bryan has the readout library ready for the FADCv3 Hall D firmware (https://code.jlab.org/fedaq/drivers/faV3)
