The Hefei Advanced Light Facility (HALF) is a fourth-generation vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and X-ray diffraction limit synchrotron radiation (DLSR) light source now under preliminary research. To achieve ultralow beam emittance and small beam size, the orbit of the beam in DLSR storage ring should meet the stability requirement at submicron scale. The beam position monitor (BPM) electronics...
Powerful hardware boards are key components for future installations at DESY and other facilities. To complete the portfolio, three new AMC were projected. All new cards base on the XILINX MPSoC FPGAs which provide an exceptionally convenient way for user application development, integration and maintenance - allowing the use of high-level programming languages such as Python or...
In the past year, ChimeraTK's DeviceAccess library has seen some major improvements. A new backend is available for the Xilinx XDMA PCI express driver. This brings direct support for all recent Xilinx FPGAs, not only for data I/O but also for PCI express user interrupts. The latter was possible by introducing support for push-type variables to all built-in backends, which means a processing...
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, a clear...
