Updating Register Definitions

To update register definitions, you should change the corresponding XML file and then run

make reg

Optical Connections

Hardware Setup

Details of the hardware setup and a shopping list can be read at shopping.

XDMA

We are using the Xilinx PCIE XDMA driver for register access to the KCU105 board. It is configured for 8 GT/s, 1 lane PCIE (we can expand the number of lanes in the future if needed).

Details of the XDMA setup and installationcan be read at XDMA.

Ethernet

A gigabit ethernet port may also be used for control.

The ethernet interface on your computer can be configured, e.g. with the command:

sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.130 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
