 ====== Installing Software for Use with RCE and HSIO-2 ======
+====== Installing Python ======
-Follow the setup instructions [[here|RCEGen3PixelApplication]] exactly. Be sure to install everything in the same directories as the tutorial, because some scripts use hard-coded branches!
+Following https://github.com/h2oai/h2o-2/wiki/installing-python-2.7-on-centos-6.3.-follow-this-sequence-exactly-for-centos-machine-only

+====== Server Setup ======
+We will be mostly following the steps on this page - https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/RCEGen3Development. First, make sure your hardware is hooked up like shown in the first pictures on this page.
+Become root by using the 'su' superuser command, then perform all of the following commands as root.
+First, we configure a server on our local computer to communicate with RCE. This server will have NFS and DCHP. Get required packages.
+ yum install dhcp cmake pyparted lib
+Disable firewall and SELinux (Linux security).
+ /sbin/chkconfig iptables off
+ /sbin/service iptables stop
+ vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux
+Set "SELINUX=permissive". Now we install the RCE SDK.
+ sudo mkdir /opt/AtlasRceSdk
+ cd /opt/AtlasRceSdk
+ wget -O - http://rceprojectportal.web.cern.ch/RceProjectPortal/software/SDK/V0.11.1.tar.gz | sudo tar xvfz -
+Add the following command to your bash_profile file so that it runs every time you open the terminal.
+ source /opt/AtlasRceSdk/V0.11.1/setup.sh
+Set up the DHCP server by editing /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. Make sure it looks like the following:
+ default-lease-time 600;
+ max-lease-time 7200;
+ authoritative;
+ ddns-update-style none;
+ subnet 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
+   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
+   option ntp-servers 192.168.3.1;
+   option routers 192.168.3.1;
+   option broadcast-address 192.168.3.255;
+   range 192.168.3.2 192.168.3.254;
+ }
+ host hsio2 {
+   option host-name "HSIO2";
+   hardware ethernet 08:00:56:00:45:0a;
+ }
+Start the DHCP server.
+ /sbin/chkconfig dhcpd on
+ /sbin/service dhcpd start
+#Filesystem
+====== Setting Up RCE Pixel Application ======
+Following the setup instructions [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/RCEGen3PixelApplication|here]]. Be sure to extract and install everything in exactly the same directories as listed below, because some scripts use hard-coded paths!
+The pixel application has two parts - calibserver, which runs on the HSIO-2, and calibGui, which is run locally and used to interface with calibserver.
+You don't need to edit /etc/hosts if your /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file is set correctly. This automatically assigns IP addresses to external devices based on their MAC addresses. You can look at the leases created by DHCP in /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases. This will tell you the IP address of the HSIO-2 board. You should be able to log on to the board using
+<code>ssh root@<IP></code>
+If you get an error "No route to host", this means you're using the wrong IP address.
+Execute all the commands in this section as superuser:
+ yum install cmake  libXpm libX11 libXext libSM libICE python-devel rpm-devel
+ mkdir -p /sw/atlas
+ chmod a+w /sw/atlas
+ cd /sw/atlas
+ git clone  https://:@gitlab.cern.ch:8443/rce/ayum.git
+ cd /sw/atlas/ayum
+ ./configure.ayum
+Enter the following information:
+ AYUM package location: /sw/atlas/ayum
+ AYUM software installation location: /sw/atlas
+ AYUM RPM database location: [/sw/atlas/.rpmdb]
+ AYUM cache location: [/sw/atlas/.yumcache]
+Keep executing commands:
+ cd /sw/atlas/ayum/src/rpmext
+ make clean
+ make
+ cd ~/ayum
+ ./ayum install  -y LCG_81b_gcc_4.9.3_x86_64_slc6 gcc_4.9.3_x86_64-slc6 LCG_81b_ROOT_6.04.12_x86_64_slc6_gcc49_opt  Boost_1.59.0_python2.7_armv7l_archlinux_gcc52_opt_lcgcmt81b_armv7l_archlinux_gcc52_opt
+ cd ~
+ git clone https://:@gitlab.cern.ch:8443/rce/pixelrce.git
+ ln -s ~/pixelrce ~/daq
+ cd ~/daq/rce
+ source ./scripts/setup-gen3.sh
+ git checkout -b V1.1.0
+ cd ~/daq/rce/build.slc6-rcf; make
+ cd ~/daq/rce/build.arm-rcf; make
+ cd ~/daq/rce/
+ rsync -e 'ssh -l root' -rlptDv /sw/atlas/sw/lcg/LCG_81b/Boost/1.59.0_python2.7/armv7l-archlinux-gcc52-opt/lib 192.168.3.3:/root/pixelrce/
+ rsync -rlptDv -e 'ssh -l root' build.arm-rcf/{bin,lib} 192.168.3.3:/root/pixelrce
+You can ssh into the HSIO-2 to run calibserver. This is not necessary unless you want to see real-time outputs from the server.
+ ssh [email protected]
+ export PATH=/root/pixelrce/bin:$PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/pixelrce/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ calibserver
+In another window, run calibGui on the local computer.
+ cd ~/daq/rce
+ source scripts/setup-gen3.sh
+ calibGui
+Use Inlink X+1, Outlink X+1, where the module is plugged into port AX. Use Rce 0.
