Vetar2a Commissioning Guide

Note: This test is functional. It is not intended to cover verification & validation tests of the design!

Needed components for each Vetar2a device

  • 1xSFP (green/purple)
  • 1xAddon board (VETAR1DB2A mezzanine board)
  • 1xLC-Display (LCD)
  • 1xWREX1 board
  • 1xFront panel (with screws and handles...)

Needed components for testing

  • JTAG device (i.e. USB Blaster)
  • Micro USB cable
  • 4xLEMO cables
  • MHDMR adapter/connector and cable (see section "MHDMR Connector")
  • LVDS connector (see pictures at IO-Test1)
  • PROMO5 adapter (21 pin plug)
  • PROMO11 adapter (micro USB like)
  • Connection to a White Rabbit network
  • VME-Crate with a VME-CPU (Master)

Step-by-step guide to commissioning a new Vetar2a:

  1. Place powered-off Vetar2a on desk
  2. Check EVERY SMD component and module on each side
  3. Limit your power-supply to 2A
  4. Attach wrex1 addon board to baseboard (WR1)
  5. Connect a USB plug to the board
  6. Furthermore attach a LC-Display to the Vetar2a
  7. Insert green or purple SFP into baseboard cage
  8. Connect SFP to WR network
  9. Connect PROMO5 JTAG to the BASEBOARD (setting: 0x1 0x4):

  10. Open a new shell ...
  11. Create a new directory: 
    mkdir vetar2a_com_guide
  12. Go to the directory: 
    cd vetar2a_com_guide
  13. Check out the latest bel_projects: 
    git clone https://github.com/stefanrauch/bel_projects.git --recursive
  14. Go to the bel_projects directory: 
    cd bel_projects
  15. Check out the latest proposed_master: 
    git checkout proposed_master
  16. [Optional]: If you get warnings like this:
    Branch proposed_master set up to track remote branch proposed_master from origin.
    Try this: 
    git submodule update --recursive
  17. [Optional] If you want to (re)build the bit stream: 
    make vetar2a
  18. Go to the tools directory: 
    cd tools/commissioning
  19. Power the Vetar2a device
  20. Run the commissioning script: 
    ./activation.sh dev/ttyUSB0 vetar2a
  21. Follow the instructions until the IO-Test ...
  22. For IO-Test #1 use this setup:

  23. For IO-Test #2 use this setup:
    vetar2a_step2_front.png

  24. Use a scope to measure the 200MHz MHDMR Clock:

  25. Finish the test script ...
  26. Perform the VME-Test [ VME Base Address, WB Base Address and WB Ctrl Base Address ]
  27. Done!

Troubleshooting:

Message/Problem Solution
Script: Error (213019): Can't scan JTAG chain. Error code 87. Check JTAG connection and Adapter setting.
Adapter should be set to 0x1 0x4. Make sure that only ONE JTAG device AND Adapter is connected.
Flashing the USB Chip:
Script: Permission denied : /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy
Error: Flash attempt failed! 		Change the permission for this device (i.e. sudo chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/xxx/yyy)
Script: Trying to erase the USB device now...
microcontroller type: fx2lp
single stage: load on-chip memory
erase_eeprom.ihx: unable to open for input.
Error: Flash attempt failed! 		The file erase_eeprom.ihx is missing. Go to ip_cores/etherbone-core/hdl/eb_usb_core/ and use "make".
cd ip_cores/etherbone-core/hdl/eb_usb_core/
make
Script: IO Jitter Check cable connections or change the maximum allowed jitter at device-test-vetar2a.cpp:
<device-test-vetar2a.cpp:>
#define TOLERANCE_FACTOR_NS 2 /* Tolerance for frequency measurement */
</device-test-vetar2a.cpp:>
