Write orsc_fe_vmestream_echo_test and validate VMEStream #8

Open ekfriis opened 11 years ago

This should sit on the oRSC FE, read a stream via VMEStream and echo it back. Will allow validation of VMEStream.

For reference from Mathias:

Ah, okay. uint16_t for the addresses, then?

ekfriis commented 11 years ago

I am not sure - that address range just refers to the size of the RAMS. i.e. there is a RAM at 0x0000, and it's size is 2048 words (almost positive they are words).

dabelknap commented 11 years ago

I mean, the addresses themselves are 16-bit. Otherwise it would be 0x00000000 - 0x000007FF instead, right?

ekfriis commented 11 years ago

They definitely fit in 16bit, but they may be 32bit. You should ask Mathias.

Note - at 904, the VME PC connected to the upper crate is l1ts-rct-02. You need to set

export CAEN_LINK=0
export VME_CONTROLLER=CAEN

for vmedia to work.
