FEB's dual stack LED Definition

LED[TOP].Green = PGP2b Link Up
LED[TOP].Blue  = PGPv4 Link Up
LED[TOP].Red   = Unused (always OFF)

LED[BOTTOM].Green = CLINK Running
LED[BOTTOM].Blue  = Unused (always OFF)
LED[BOTTOM].Red   = CLINK not Running

FEB's SFP Fiber mapping

SFP[0] = PGP2b
SFP[1] = PGPv4
SFP[2] = Unused
SFP[3] = Unused

SFP[0] is fiber closed to the power connector. Numbering goes from left to right with SFP[3] closest to JTAG connector.

How to build the FEB firmware

Setup Xilinx licensing

$ source cameralink-gateway/firmware/setup_env_slac.sh

Go to the target directory and make the firmware:

$ cd cameralink-gateway/firmware/targets/ClinkFeb/
$ make

Optional: Review the results in GUI mode

$ make gui

How to reprogram the FEB firmware via Rogue software

Setup the rogue environment

$ cd cameralink-gateway/software
$ source setup_env_template.sh

Run the FEB firmware update script:

$ python scripts/updateFebFpga.py --lane <PGP_LANE> --mcs <PATH_TO_MCS>

where <PGP_LANE> is the PGP lane index (range from 0 to 3) and <PATH_TO_MCS> is the path to the firmware .MCS file

How to run the Rogue PyQT GUI

Setup the rogue environment

$ cd cameralink-gateway/software
$ source setup_env_slac.sh

Lauch the GUI:

$ python scripts/devGui --pgp4 IS_PGP4_BOOL --laneConfig LANE_CONFIG_DICTIONARY

Example of starting up OPAL1000 on Lane[0] with PGP4 (instead of PGP2b) and stand alone mode (locally generated timing)

$ python scripts/devGui --pgp4 1 --laneConfig 0=Opal1000 --standAloneMode 1
Then execute the StartRun() command to start the triggering
