Description
Getting a new type of AMC up and running usually has a significant entry barrier.
Especially for unfamiliar boards it is important to have a reliable tool chain ready to have a smooth start.
The ChimeraTK framework provides libraries and tools that cover the whole range from first communication and configuration of the board to full application development with integration to DOOCS, EPICS, TANGO or OPC UA based control systems. Even more advanced features like handshakes with AMD interrupt controllers have a ready to use implementation, particularly but not exclusively when using firmware provided by the DESY FPGA firmware framework (FWK).
This significantly speeds up the whole device integration and application development process.
In this presentation we give an overview of ChimeraTK and report on recent improvements and new features.
