Software for MTCA.4
openMMC is a hardware independent open source MMC firmware under development at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS/Sirius). It has a modular structure focusing on the decoupling between application, board and microcontroller-specific routines. The firmware runs on the FreeRTOS operating system, over which each monitoring function runs its own independent task. This work will give...

Software for MTCA.4
The PCIe universal driver has been used in DESY and XFEL within several years.
During this time a lot of improvements and new futures have been added.
The first implementation of the PICMG SHAPI standard Registers Set with the connections to PCIe MSI and possibility of using PCIe peer to peer transactions well be presentad.

Software for MTCA.4
Most FPGA designs need similar functionality in order to interact with the on-board peripherals and the applications running, for instance, on a CPU in the crate. FPGA frameworks are employed to reuse the code of these functions among different projects. The ESS FPGA Framework provides these functionalities within an AXI4-based environment with the goal of supporting different MicroTCA boards...

Software for MTCA.4
In the past year, the ControlSystemAdapter and the ApplicationCore libraries of ChimeraTK have done the step from proof of concept implementations to Tools which are ready for productive use. They provide a framework for writing a control application which publishes process variables to a control system without being dependent on a particular middleware. A full LLRF controller server for a...

Application in research facilities and industry
Modern X-ray and XUV FEL facilities, such as the European XFEL and DESY’s FLASH require as essential components optical lasers for their accelerator operation and user experiments. In this talk we present control hard- and software development for those laser systems, focusing especially on the application of MTCA components for synchronization, timing, and fast diagnostics.

Software for MTCA.4
I will present a new DAQ system for energy dispersive detectors for X- and gamma-rays based on the MicroTCA.4 standard which is being developed at FS-PEX in collaboration with MSK Group in the frame of DESY strategy fund project.
I developed a new real-time pulse shape analysis algorithm and trigger system. Using the MSK firmware framework I implemented this algorithm in the field...
