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 ====== BUILD LOCAL AND REMOTE SERVERS Follow the setup instructions here. Be sure to extract and install everything in exactly the same directories as the tutorial, because some scripts use hard-coded paths! The TDAQ framework does not need to be installed if you're installing RCF. The install command <code>./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</code> sometimes runs into timeout issues while downloading files, but you can run it again after it finishes, and it'll just look for the missing pieces. The make commands <code>cd ~/daq/rce/build.slc6-rcf; make cd ~/daq/rce/build.arm-rcf; make</code> sometimes spit out errors such as <code>internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)</code> This is because our lab computer is horrible and barely has any RAM. Just run the command again after it finishes and it'll go back to work on the parts that failed. 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. 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 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] 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 INSTALLING AND RUNNING SERVERS 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 ssh [email protected] export PATH=/root/pixelrce/bin:$PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/pixelrce/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH calibserver cd ~/daq/rce source scripts/setup-gen3.sh calibGui Use Inlink X+1, Outlink X+1, where the module is plugged into port AX.
