Gustavo working on this now . 2-3 weeks more of work o Software - Stefano working on user-friendly interface for Xilinx card o Work proceeding well - could possibly have this ready for July - certainly for August Status from Sacaly: Denis Calvet ------------------ o ADF board not yet back from assembler - probably delivered next week (when Denis is on vacation) - testing will start on 15-July o Suggest to postpone August integration by ~1 month - to end September or October - could this be sped up using more resources? . probably not on hardware > no people at Saclay available in the next 10 days . develop software could be a possibility > need ModelSim VHDL simulator + Xilinx software + Visual c++ > Denis can send all VHDL and c-code source > will send all the necessary files to Hal o Cable Harness - all component ordered - delivery date beginning of July - cable delivery is late - Denis is checking on it w/ company . not critical to o SCL Mezz card - schematic finished - will start layout on 7-July . should tak 2-3 weeks . could be in production in beginning August - if integration is postponed - could have this card ready o Other Mezzanine Cards - reduced version of ADF: 1 channel no digital output - channel link tester: 1 receiver . 2K memory . error detection - design/schematics done - layout after SCL-mezz. (1st channel link tester) Status from Nevis: Hal Evans ----------------- o TAB - 1st TAB prototype recieved back from assembly on 24-June - Tests completed so far: . powers up OK: 6V & 48V distrib correctly through DC-DC converter . VME access through VME/SCL works . can download firmware to all Sliding Windows Stratixes > test memories written/read through VME/SCL . timing signals successfully received/locked from VME/SCL - Next step . load test memory with events - spin through SW chips Any Other Business ------------------ o Hal will be at Fermilab next week - let him know if you have any requests for integration test setup
