Cosylab is the world leading integrator of control systems for big physics facilities. We frequently integrate high speed data acquisition devices on the MicroTCA platform for our customers. To simplify this process we have developed a generic control system stack that allows us to support a large set of MicroTCA ADC hardware boards with minimal firmware and software modifications. Our...
The FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMCs) are commonly used in various industrial and scientific projects. FMCs are also often used as an modular extension of Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) in MicroTCA.4 systems. However, there is no standardized way of identifying FMC module by the FMC Carrier in such systems. It is especially problematic as the FMCs requires a dedicated IO voltage (Vadj) that must be...
The Module Management Controller (MMC) is a mandatory component of every AMC board. DESY is developing, maintaining and licensing a turn-key MMC solution that is used on several hundred boards in different facilities - on DESY's own products as well as on third-party AMC boards developed by industrial customers and project partners.
With the growing number of different boards, the...
This talk summarizes an effort of the IPMI functionality support for MTCA.4 systems in the ESS facility.
Development of computing platforms has been shifting to the usage of heterogeneous languages for some time now. The newest C++ standards are incorporating these heterogeneous characteristics into the language. In this context, we developed IRIO-OpenCL to simplify the integration of heterogeneous hardware with the Instrumentation & Control systems that are required on Big Science facilities....
