New page

== Setup ==
The following equipments are needed:
* mas PC: An ubuntu-based PC with ARC-64 PCI card installed an running mas software.
* 2-slot backplane with Clock Card plugged in: Device under test (DUT) is plugged into this backplane during testing.
* fibre-optic cable: connects mas-PC to Clock Card.
* set of Linear supplies to power up the cards. (3V, 4.5V, 6.2V, -6.2V)
* Altera USB programmer: attached to the JTAG connector in Clock card front panel.
* PC with Quartus installed: used to program FPGA and configuration devices on Readout Card.
* Oscilloscope

If you have all the above and '''if your DUT has already been smoke tested''', you are ready to start:
# connect them up an power up the 2-slot backplane.
# Load FPGA firmware using Quartus. Firmware is located at http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce_firmware/. Run auto-detect and you should see 4 devices. The part at the bottom of the list corresponts to Clock card FPGA. Load following firmware from the above directory: '''CC firmware 5.0.7''', '''BC firmware bc_v05000005_20jul2010.sof'''
# On the 2-slot backplane there are two sets of dip switches. You need to set the one on the Address card side to '''1111 (0xf)''', otherwise replies do not come back, because the card is not identified properly.
# Now make sure both cards communicate with the PC. ssh to the PC running mas and connected to the 2-slot backplane trhough fibre cables and run the following command:
mce_cmd -x rb cc fw_rev

and you will see:
Line 0 : ok : 0x5000007

and then type:
mce_cmd -x rb ac fw_rev
and you will see
Line 0 : ok : 0x5000004

−	== ==	+	== Testing General Features (card_all_test)==
		+	We run a scrip on the mas PC to issue commands over the fibre to test the Bias Card unit under test. In this script, the following circuits are tested: LEDs, silicon ID chip, slot-id and pcb-revision identification pins, FPGA and board temperature sense circuitry, LVDS communication pairs.
		+
		+	On mas PC, type: '''card_all_test'''
		+
		+	The output should look like:
		+	**** Check to make sure the LEDs on the target card switched status! **
		+	Unit Under Test : ac
		+	Serial Number : SBC-216
		+	Firmware Revision: -0xfffa
		+	card_id : 0x20be502
		+	slot_id : [3]
		+	card_type : [2]
		+	card_rev : 0
		+	fpga_temp : 34 C pass
		+	card_temp : 28 C pass
		+	results are in : /data/cryo/current_data/SAC-016_1285959943_all_test
		+
		+	copy the results into the test logfile and record the card_id on [[MCE CARD Serial-Number Lookup]]
		+
		+	== Testing DACS ==
		+	In this stage, we test the 16-bit serial DACs: 32 single-ended bias lines and 12 differential bias lines (ln_bias). For serial DACs, the script only tries loading 3 values: 0, midrange, full-range.
		+
		+	To run the test, on mas PC, connect the multiplexer board via USB, HP 34401A multimeter via RS-232, and run the '''bc_ate.py''' script by typing '''python bc_ate.py SBC-nnn''' where nnn is the card number. This will create a CSV file named SBC-nnn.csv with the test results.

		+
		+	After the fixed value tests are completed, a ramp is applied to the DACs and outputs need to be probed in all cases.
		+
		+	Here is a PASS criteria for the serial DACs. Verify that the numbers are within this range and save the generated CSV file in the same directory as the test log.

		+	== Testing Serial Configuration device and FPGA reconfiguration ==
		+	Load firmware into the configuration device as oppose to the FPGA now. The parallel configuration device, EPC16, is programmed through the JTAG port on the Clock-Card front panel. Here are the steps:
		+	* Run Quartus programmer and click on auto-detect. You should see 4 devices in the list.
		+	* Select EPC16 device on top and click on change file to choose ''' bc_v05030004_20dec2012.pof''' (found in http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce_firmware/ )
		+	* Now select the device and click on program.
		+	* When programming is done, turn off the power and turn it back on. If the Green Light is on, it means that you have successfully programmed the configuration device.
		+	* on mas prompt, type:''' mce_cmd -x rb bc1 fw_rev''' and you should see the firmware revision of the firmware you loaded. This is usually noted in the filename of the file you chose.
		+
		+	Record the result in logfile.
		+
		+	log results
