Entry   Soft and Firmware upgrade on wp78, posted by Frank Babies on 21 Apr 2015, 14:33 

2015-04-20 EXFLUTCAWP78



06:50      Start with the OS Update for the crate wp78.

1.     Update from round 100 Packages.

2.     Kernel upgrade from 3.5.02 to 3.13.0-45

After the Kernel update the Modules x2timer and pciedev does not work anymore. He load the wrong module from kernel 3.5 , but that’s does not work.

So I have to uninstall the Modules with “autoremove” and to reinstall both modules. Than it works.


08:00      I realized that the MCH are not reachable. So I have to do it with jddd and not via ipmi.

1.     I upgraded the x2timer card from 1.10 to 1.17.4 via jddd.

2.     To make the upgrade complete I have to pull out the xtimer Card, but I can’t do it now because the Crate are working in the experimental Hall 49D and it is not allowed to enter the Hall without a professional. Laurens Wissmann was not able to come with us at this time.


12:00      At the noon time I shutdown the Crate wp78 and Laurens pull off the Power. He changed the RTM from

the Struck Board. The bad thing was that the changing bring up a new Problem (not of course the RTM but because of the insertion). The crate does not come up again.

1.     So I  go to the Hall with my service case. But I can’t find the reason for this.

2.     In Patricks stimulus towards I remove all Cards and put it back again.

 

At round about two o clock Bruno start with the update on the Struck Board.

Entry   Dynamischer Modul support fuer Fremdmodule, posted by Frank Babies on 22 Aug 2013, 09:47 

Installiert sein müssen die Pakete:
build-essential, dkms und module-assistant.
Neue Module werden in der:
/usr/share/modass/compliant.list
per Hand eingetragen.

Wichtig!!

Um den Module Assistenten auch mit einem Kernelupgrade nutzen zu können ist es zwingend notwendig auch das Paket dkms installiert zu haben!!

 

Entry   System hängt nach wiedereinschalten der Spannungsversorgung!, posted by Frank Babies on 23 Aug 2013, 15:46 

Die Lösung ist das die Festplatte selbst so eingestellt sein muss das sie nach einem Crash im RO Modus wieder hoch kommt:

"tune2fs -e remount-ro /dev/sd...."

 ---------------------------------------

 

 

Nach einem Stromausfall hängt die Festplatte, da sie auf eine Eingabe wartet am Prompt.

Bei Autonomen Systemen kommt man auch nicht per Netzwerk wieder an die Anlage.

Entry   Upgrade of MMC and FPGA of ADQ412, posted by Patrick Gessler on 02 Sep 2013, 18:07 

Upgraded MMC and tried upgrade of FPGA of ADQ412 in Slot 12:

First upgraded the MMC firmware via TigerDragon cable to the f/w provided by SP Devices, which supports now HPM f/w upgrade for the FPGA/FLASH. After MMC f/w upgrade, the EEPROM data had to be restored.
Then the FPGA was updated via ipmitool through the MCH via network. The description of the tool is described in a separate entry ("Upgrade via IMPMI and HPM").

The first upgrade attempt failed with the following print out:

Entry   Upgrade ADQs to new Frimware V1.1.0-r14958, posted by Hamed Sotoudi Namin on 16 Jul 2014, 13:36 

All ADQ boards are upgraded to new Firmware. The version is 01.01.00-R14958 . R14958 is the version of SP-Devices core. In this firmware some error reporting flags are added and some measuring values are added to protocol header. Inside register(2) three flags are added for LVDS_Clk, TID and Trigger signal persence. When each of them is high that means the corresponding signal exists. Inside the packet other flags such as TID Error, TID packet Frame error, TID packet parity error and TID packet CRC error are added. Three different measurment counters are added one of them is 32-bit counter that counts number of processing clock cycles between two consecutive trigger signal. Second counter which is 32-bit counter  counts number of processing clock cycles between each TID signal and following Trigger signals. This counter starts from zero after each TID valid signals. Third and last counter is eight-bit counter that counts number of trigger signals between each two consecutive TID signals.

Entry   Crate 6 upgraded to Bootloader, posted by Hamed Sotoudi Namin on 23 Oct 2015, 11:19 

All eight modules in crate 6 have been upgraded to bootloader version 21688. Now it is possible to configure digitizers (load mcs file) through PCIe express. It is very important to know that any firmware change should be done in partitioned mode ( ADQUpdater switch should be -eup) otherwise bootloader will be erased.

Entry   Replaced Power Module, posted by Patrick Gessler on 07 Sep 2013, 10:24 

I removed the old DC/DC power module from Emerson with the new AC 600W Tekoor power module. Main resons were, that the old module does not allow control of Power module and Fans via the MCH and that the provided maxiumum power is limited to 350W.

Entry   Changed PCIe configuration in MCH, posted by Patrick Gessler on 07 Sep 2013, 10:27 

I corrected the PCIe configuration of the exflutca5-mch. It was configured for PCIe on only the first 6 AMCs. Now it supports all 12 slots.

I kept the PCIe Hotplug = disabled, as the hotplugging produced errors with the timing module software --> this has to be checked!

Entry   Hotplug with X2Timer error, posted by Patrick Gessler on 07 Sep 2013, 10:30 

The experience was, that the x2timer software is not working anymore, if PCIe hotplugging is enabled in the MCH. It should be checked, if this is still the case and then clarified with the responsible DESY people (Arthur, Lyudvig). Hotplugging is currently disabled, but it would be important to avoid reboots after FPGA reprogramming.

Entry   Disk Full, no Space left., posted by Frank Babies on 01 Aug 2014, 10:50 

exflutca3: The DMA Resets floating the root Disk it was no space left.


ToDo:

Ssh connect to the client.

df –h ….    /dev/sda1  /  100%    (no Space left)

search the biggest Files with: du –sh /tmp or du –sh /var/ and so on

you find (explain) /var/log/messages 36GB.

You cannot delete this file because for this he also need a little bit space.

The next step is to shrink the reserved space.

sudo tune2fs –m 1 /dev/sda1

this will shrink the reserved space from 5% to 1% now you have enough space to delete the file messages.

After this you should reserve the space again from 1 to 5% (sudo tune2fs –m 2 /dev/sda1).

Entry   Installed LDAP2 development package, posted by Andreas Beckmann on 08 Apr 2014, 08:39 

The epics and doocs package from Karabo requires some Debian packages in order to compile.

  • OpenLDAP development (libldap2-dev) [for doocs]
  • Readline development (libreadline-dev) [for epics]

Since these are not (yet) part of the Karabo binary release (see bugs #579 and #585), I installed them on the host itself.

Entry   Crate at FeC for the DSSC-ladder test , posted by Mattia on 29 Oct 2013, 14:30 

NOTE:

 AMC 900 & MCH are unplugged. 

They are in Christoph Stechmann office.

Access Configuration:

Eth2 IP: 131.169.101.80 (name: dsscmtca01)

USERNAME: dsscmctauser (sorry for the "c" and "t" swapped I will correct soon!)

PASSWORD: ask me or Patrick

 

At the moment:

  • Slot 0: power supply
  • Slot 1: NAT MCH
  • Slot 2: CPU AMC900
  • Slot 3: -
  • Slot 4: DAMCv2

 

NOTE:

A USB-2-JTAG adapter is linked from the CPU to the DAMCv2.

To program run impact: IMPACT (as user, avoid superuser if possible)

$ . /opt/Xilinx/14.4/LabTools/settings64.sh

$ impact &

(The last firmware is available in the home folder.)

 

TIPS:

To have access to the MCH activate the eth0 with the command

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.30

and then you can have access at the MCH via

telnet 192.168.1.41

or

by tunneling the port 192.168.1.41:80 via SSH!

Entry   MCH Replaced, posted by Mattia on 12 Nov 2013, 13:36

update


aktualisiert die übersicht der verügbaren Pakete, liest also die Informationen aus den Dateien Packages.gz der jeweiligen Distribution ein. Sie sollten update immer ausführen,

wenn Sie wissen, dass sich die Inhalte der Paketdateien beziehungsweise die vergbaren Pakete auf dem Server geändert haben. Auf jeden Fall sollten Sie update vor dem Aufruf von upgrade oder dist-upgrade aufrufen.

    Eine neue Fähigkeit von apt seit Debian 4.0 ist die Möglichkeit, lediglich die Änderungen der Packages-Dateien seit ihrer letzten Aktualisierung herunterzuladen.


upgrade

    Um alle auf dem System installierten Pakete auf die aktuelle Version zu bringen, können Sie upgrade benutzen. Alle bereits installierten Pakete, von denen eine neuere Version verfügbar ist, werden aktualisiert. Es werden keine Pakete gelöscht, die bereits installiert sind (und in den neuen Paketdateien nicht mehr enthalten sind), oder Pakete installiert, die noch nicht auf dem System vorhanden sind. Pakete, die bereits installiert sind und es bei einem Upgrade erforderlich machen, den Status anderer Pakete zu verändern, werden nicht aktualisiert. apt-get update muss vorab ausgeführt werden, so dass sichergestellt ist, dass die Paketinformationen auf dem neuesten Stand sind.


dist-upgrade

    ist eigentlich eine Ergänzung oder Erweiterung zu upgrade. Es wird hierbei dafür Sorge getragen, dass für das System wichtigere Pakete zuerst installiert werden. Hierbei werden in engen Grenzen auch Abhängigkeiten verändert, um ein Paket installieren zu können. Dies ist dann notwendig, wenn ein System komplett auf eine neue Version umgestellt werden soll und kein sanfter Übergang gewährleistet werden kann.
 

dselect-upgrade

    Mit dieser Option werden auch die Paketinformationen recommends und suggests ausgewertet. Dies ist sonst nur mit dselect möglich. Diese Vorschläge für weitere Pakete sind zur Funktion des gewünschten Pakets nicht zwingend erforderlich, können aber durchaus sinnvoll sein.


install

    Diese Option benötigt noch einen oder mehrere Paketnamen. Jedes dieser Pakete (der Paketname, also beispielsweise sendmail, reicht hierbei aus) sowie die noch benötigten Pakete (diese werden automatisch ermittelt) werden auf Basis der Informationen in /etc/apt/sources.list geholt und installiert. Wenn Sie hinter den Namen des Pakets ein Minuszeichen (-) setzen, wird das Paket aus dem System entfernt, wenn es bereits installiert ist. Achten Sie darauf, dass das Minuszeichen (ohne ein Leerzeichen dazwischen) unmittelbar nach dem Paketnamen steht. Diese Funktion kann auch bei Konflikten bei der Installation einzelner Pakete sehr nützlich sein: Sie können so Pakete in einem Vorgang löschen und installieren. Die Option install wählt immer die aktuellste verügbare Version eines Pakets aus. Es kann jedoch sinnvoll sein, auch Zugriff auf ältere Programmversionen zu haben. Hierzu kann ab der Version 0.5.3 von apt folgende Syntax verwendet werden: apt-get install sane/unstable. Durch einen Slash (/) getrennt, kann hinter dem Paketnamen das gewünschte Release eines Pakets angegeben werden.

    Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist es, falls verschiedene Versionen eines Pakets verügbar sind, direkt die gewünschte Versionsnummer anzugeben. Zunächst sollte man mit apt-cache prüfen, welche Versionen eines Pakets verfügbar sind. Mit apt-get install vim=6.0.093-2 kann dann ganz gezielt die gewünschte Version installiert werden.


--reinstall

    Diese Option installiert das gewünschte Paket komplett neu, auch wenn es bereits installiert ist. Beachten Sie, dass hierbei auch die Option install anzugeben ist!


remove

    Diese Funktion ist analog zu install, nur mit dem Unterschied, dass die Pakete standardmäsig entfernt werden, anstatt sie zu installieren. Analog zu dem eben Beschriebenen können Sie hier ein Pluszeichen (+) verwenden, um Pakete zu installieren.


check

    dient lediglich zur Diagnose. Es wird überprüft, ob sich irgendwelche Unstimmigkeiten in den Paketen finden.
 

--purge remove

    Löscht das gewünschte Paket und alle weiteren Pakete, die direkt von diesem Paket abhängig sind. Weiterhin werden alle zu den Paketen gehörenden Konfigurationsdateien gelöscht.


clean

    Dies löscht das lokale Verzeichnis, in dem sich die zu installierenden Pakete befinden. Alles, mit Ausnahme der lock-Datei, wird aus /var/cache/apt/archives/ und /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ gelöscht.


source

    Dieses Kommando holt die notwendigen Dateien zur Erzeugung eines Binärpakets. Es können so angepasste Pakete erzeugt werden oder aber Pakete auf einer anderen Architektur übersetzt werden. Wichtig ist hierbei ein entsprechender deb-src-Eintrag in der Datei sources.list. Um alle zu einem Paket gehörenden Dateien von einem Server zu holen, reicht das Kommando apt-get source paketname. Es werden die aktuellen Versionen der Dateien paketname.orig.tar.gz, paketname.dsc und paketname.diff.gz im aktuellen Verzeichnis gespeichert.

    Um aus den Quellen direkt ein Binärpaket zu erzeugen, kann die Option -b angegeben werden. Das komplette Kommando lautet dann apt-get source -b paketname. Wenn die benötigten Source-Pakete bereits vorliegen, kann das Binärpaket auch direkt mit dem Kommando dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc erzeugt werden.


build-dep

    Die meisten Software-Pakete benötigen bei der Übersetzung aus den Quellpaketen weitere Entwicklungspakete wie Libraries und Header-Dateien. Diese werden häufig nicht mitgeliefert und liegen in gesonderten Paketen vor. Das Debian Paketsystem sieht so genannte build dependencies vor, in denen alle Abhängigkeiten zur Erzeugung eines Pakets beschrieben sind.

    Das Kommando apt-get build-dep paketname sorgt dafür, dass alle zur Übersetzung eines Pakets benötigten Dateien auf dem System vorhanden sind.

Entry   Configuration of MMC for DAMC2, posted by Patrick Gessler on 07 Jul 2014, 13:49 

The FLASH of the DAMC2 could be upgraded via different ways:

1. JTAG Cable

2. MMC via IPMI and HPM

3. JTAG Player through the FPGA

4. JTAG Interface on the Backplane

 

In order to upgrade the f/w via the JTAG Player (3), the MMC has to configure the JTAG chain in order to connect the JTAG Player of the FPGA to the chain. This is acomplished by using the impmitool in the following way:

ipmitool -I lan -H exflutca7-mch.desy.de -P "" -t 0x7A raw 0x30 0x03 0x01

(some fields have to be replaced by the correct mch address and the slot fru number - see other log entry about this)

Now the pcie_jtag_player tool could be used.

 

Independent of the method used, the FLASH memory supports up to two f/w revisions in one image. A nice side effect is, that revision 1 could be erased and reprogrammed without touching the revision 0. It could therefore serve as a failsave version after a broken f/w upgrade of revision 1. In order to select the desired one, the ipmitool again could be used. In this case the command is for revision 0:

ipmitool -I lan -H exflutca7-mch.desy.de -P "" -t 0x7A raw 0x30 0x01 0x03

And for revision 1 it is:

ipmitool -I lan -H exflutca7-mch.desy.de -P "" -t 0x7A raw 0x30 0x01 0x02

After upgrades and switching revisions a could reset of the AMC is required!

Entry   Information about DESY LLRF generic PCIe drivers, posted by Patrick Gessler on 29 Jan 2015, 07:34 

 The driver is in the MTCA4U software repository under
https://svnsrv.desy.de/public/mtca4u/drivers/

It consists of two parts: The gpcieuni base driver and the pcieuni
driver. You first have to install the gpcieuni driver, otherwise the
pcieuni driver will not compile. The latest tags are
https://svnsrv.desy.de/public/mtca4u/drivers/gpcieuni/tags/0.1.1/
https://svnsrv.desy.de/public/mtca4u/drivers/pcieuni/tags/0.1.2/

Installation:
In addition to the kernel headers and the compiler you need the dkms
(dynamic kernel module support) package installed. It comes with you
distribution.

After downloading the driver just run
$ sudo make install
, first for gpcieuni and then for pcieuni.
(no need to do 'make' first because the installation is running dkms,
which does the compilation into the current kernel for you)

The driver is registering to the XILINX vendor ID 10EE and PCI Device ID
99 (and also 37, 38 and 39 which are used for DESY LLRF).

You can manually register the driver to you device, for example an
Altera FPGA (vendor id 1172) with Device ID 2407 (run as root)
# echo 1172 2407 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/pcieuni/new_id

(IDs are in hex, you have to do this after each reboot or
loading/unloading of the driver).

You can now access the device using MTCA4U, for instance QtHardMon or
the command line tools, or from C++.

Attention: DMA transfer will probably not work because it uses the
simple implementation used at DESY. Especially the DMA of the stock
firmware for the Struck SIS8300 does not work with this driver.
But all registers of the whole PCIexpress address space is accessible
(except for bar 2, which is reserved for DMA in the DESY implementation
and intentionally not exposed to the user).

There is a driver for the SIS8300 stock firmware from the upciedev
(which is the original familiy the pciuni was forked from). But this
branch is still buggy and insecure by design and can kill your Linux kernel.

Entry   Upgrade via IPMI and HPM, posted by Patrick Gessler on 02 Sep 2013, 18:16 

The ipmitool is a software, which allows to use ipmi commands via network with the MCH. One possibility is top use the HMP.1 standard in order to upgrade f/w of modules, which support it. The syntax is the following (if MCH Backward compatibility to 2.4 is disabled):

ipmitool -H exflutcaX-mch -P "" -T 0x82 -B 0 -b 7 -t 0xTT hpm upgrade [filename.hpm]

otherwise use:

ipmitool -H exflutcaX-mch -P "" -t 0xTT hpm upgrade [filename.hpm]


Option Meaning
-H exflutcaX-mch host to be accessed
-P "" No password
-T 0x82 Address of carrier. It is 0x80 + carrier number * 2. The usual carrier number programmed in the backplane is 1. Therefore 0x82 is in most cases correct.
-B 0 I2C Bus number to Ethernet. Is always 0
-b 7 I2C number to backplane. Is always 7.
-t 0xTT TT is the module address to be calculated. It is 0x70 + slot number * 2. Slot number starts with 1. Value is in hex.
hpm upgrade defines the command for HPM.1 to upgrade the firmware
[filename.hpm] This is the firmware image file. It has to be generated. For example: there is a tool from SP Devices in C++ or a Java program from Vahan (could be found on doocs.desy.de > Java Applications > Other and external Applications > HPMImage)

Entry   Broken MCH firmware upgrade recovery, posted by Patrick Gessler on 08 Nov 2013, 17:01 

When the webupdate of the MCH fails during upload of the image, the MCH might be in a kind of emergency state. In this case only the bootloader is started, where access only via the serial connection is possible. The reason for this is, that the webupdater will set the boot string to be 0, what means, that after the boot loader no firmware is loaded. After successfull upload and installation of the new f/w, the webupdater would change back to the correct boot string (0xd0100008) and do re reboot.

In case of a broken update, the only way out is to upgrade the f/w via the command line on the serial port. The update_firmware command has to be used. Then it will ask for the IP address and file name. For this purpose a tftp had been installed and started on exflutcadev (192.168.81.200). So the procedure works as follows:

Connect to serial port via the USB cable on the front on the MCH.

> update_firmware

> 192.168.81.200:mch_fw_214_1.bin

The the upload and upgrade will be done. If it was successfull:

> bs

> 0xd0100008

> yes (if it is asked for it)

Finally do a power cut
