 +====== 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.
