LArPix-v2b upgrade #242

Open peter-madigan opened 3 years ago

peter-madigan commented 3 years ago

The LArPix-v2b chip is arriving soon and so larpix-control needs to be ready to communicate with the new chips. In particular,

  1. There will likely need to be a new configuration class under larpix/configuration/, it should be able to inherit most functionality from the Configuration_v2 class.
  2. There will need to be a new default configuration under larpix/configs/chip.
  3. The Chip class under larpix/chip.py will need to know about the new configuration class.
  4. Controller.load will need to have a switch for the new asic version.
  5. There may need to be a new Packet class under larpix/packet if the uart protocol has changed

Also don't forget to add a test suite in test/ to make sure it works as you expect!
