ACCOR Hardware ProjectElectronic boards and drivers neededas replacement for PPC eradicationBE-CO-HT2 January 2012 Erik van der Bij CERN
Overview • ACCOR Project • Overview • Hardware modules: classic modules • Hardware modules: new developments • Conclusions
HW modules'Classic' modules • Standard modules, working and available • Documented on wikis • Modules tree: http://wikis/display/HT/Modules+tree
PPC replacementUntil now: no questions were asked • Drivers available for ‘all’ cards • Only VTSM and CTC: underway • Obsolete cards mostly seem to have a replacement • Dual Delay module (VME) is considered Obsolete • Replace by FMC Fine delay 1ns, 4 channels • production done: Aug 2012 • Available for PICMG; VME platform likely late 2012 • VTSM still active, may be replaced in future by FMC TDC
HW modulesNew developments • FMC Carriers • Simple PCIe carrier (SPEC) • production done mid Feb 2012: 8 cards, +62 in April • VME FMC carrier (VFC) (collaboration with BE/BI) • V2 prototype arrives mid Feb 2012. Needs testing • Quantity production ready by July 2013? • Fallback: Simple VME FMC carrier (SVEC): schematics started • FMC Mezzanines • Fine delay 1ns resolution, 4 channels – production done: Aug 2012 • ADC 100 MSPS, 14bit, 4 channels – production done: March 2012 • Time to Digital 1ns resolution – proto available. Prod ~ Jan 2013 • ADC 200 kSPS, 16 bit, 11 channels – proto available • Project on hold (VME: use VD80, PICMG: use VMOD)
Need information • Production times long, also of 'classic' cards • Some are from industry • Others are produced and tested at CERN • Example: SPEC production, a pretty simple board • May 2011 sent out Price Enquiry • April 2012 will have 70 boards… • Light finance procedure, but some production hick-up. • VME will need MS, PE, ILO, FC… Count over a year from PE… • Need to know well in advance • Which modules? What quantities? By when? • Who collects this info and sets priorities? MCC?
Need to know quantitiesUntil then: • As before: request 'classic' cards via Web • https://espace.cern.ch/be-dep/CO/FE/hw_installation.aspx • Discuss with Claude Dehavay for large requests in advance • Contact me about status and priorities • For the new FMC cards • For things that you're not sure about or foresee already now • Think about all technical details • Connector types • Signal levels • Crate types, available space etc.
Conclusions • Production times are long • Development times are long • Resources are limited • Therefore we need to know the priorities • Think well in advance and inform ACCOR • Who collects info? MCCs?
