uGMTScripts

Testing software for the CMS uGMT.

This repository contains a script collection for testing and configurating the uGMT. It is partly dependent on a setup of CMSSW and uhal.

Eventually the contents of this repository will be migrated to the official SVN cactus-repository.

Structure

  1. ugmt_patterns : Script selection for parsing and comparing HW and emulator response.
  2. lut_tests : LUT content generation and configuration / testing.
  3. ucf_tests : Testing of area-constraints.

Instructions for setup

Checkout the repository and source the setup shell-script:

git clone https://github.com/jlingema/uGMTScripts.git
cd uGMTScripts
python setup.py (--update)

If the option update is supplied the script fetches the newest version of ugmt_constants.vhd from the firmware repository.

How to get comparisons of uGMT emulator and hardware responses

Currently the best description is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xI5E4Q6c9itRWNWQLuvZzWbBLZcAaq23mFS8Hvlh1to/edit?usp=sharing

Look-Up-Table configuration and testing:

LUT file generation

The following should in general work. For more help see the --help option of the script:

cd uGMTScripts/lut_test/lut_configuration
python lut_file_generator.py data/lut_config.json

Reading LUT configuration from MP7 / Writing LUT configuration to MP7

Reading:

You'll need a working uhal environment for all of the following. The following commands can be used to inspect the contents of a LUT or register. Partial matches to register_or_lut_name will be inspected, too:

cd uGMTScripts/lut_test/read_write_tools
python inspect.py register_or_lut_name (--dryrun)

With the dryrun option no actual access to the hardware is needed. It will only inspect the address table node-tree for the specified registers / LUTs.

Writing:

To write new contents to a set of LUTs the following can be done. Also partial matches will be written to (consider to do a dryrun first).

cd uGMTScripts/lut_test/read_write_tools
python write_luts.py lut_name --content generate://zero (--dryrun)

With the dryrun option no actual access to the hardware is needed. It will only show the LUTs that will be changed and the content that would be written if dryrun was omitted.
