Revision 5.0.0 (Latest Release)
- Filename: cc_v05000000_22dec2008.sof
- To Do:
- ---
- Features:
- IMPORTANT: Must be used in conjunction with firmware v05000000 of all other cards!!!
- This version is based on 4.0.a. That is, it includes all of the features that were under development in 4.0.a, even though 4.0.a was not released for telescope use.
- Header Version 6
- Added the ability to read out a single column of data continuously from one Readout Card
- New commands include: readout_col_index, readout_priority, num_cols_reported
- To allow enough data bandwidth, the spare LVDS line from each card to the Clock Card is now used
- Details:
- Differences between 4.0.9 and 5.0.0:

Revision 4.0.a (Intermediate Version, Not for Telescope Use)
- Filename: cc_v0400000a_16oct2008
- To Do:
- Make sure that the errno word, and the cards to report word in the data frame header agree with cards_to_report
- Features:
- Header Version 6
- Added stop_dly, rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report commands
- Added support for commands to the MCE during data acquisition
- Details:
- clk_card.vhd: incremented the firmware version number, and added cards_to_report interface signals; added support for the stop_dly, rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report commands; Removed the Manchester PLL because the only way to ensure that packets are received without trouble is for the main PLL to be locked on the Manchester clock. The Manchester PLL was a failed attempted around this.
- clock_card_pack.vhd: added support for the stop_dly, rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report commands
- issue_reply.vhd: added support for the stop_dly, rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report commands
- cmd_translator.vhd: split up command registers so that it can handle WB/RB/RS commands while acquiring data based on a GO command.
- issue_reply_pack.vhd: added indexing constants.
- reply_queue.vhd: modified the logic for calculating the reply data size, in response to the addition of the rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report commands
- reply_queue_sequencer.vhd: modified the logic for reading the data from the reply queues; modified the logic for determining when to stop readout from a card queue to ease timing constraints. Changed to logic for multiplexing the data buses from the reply queues to combinatorial logic to ease timing constraints.
- reply_translator.vhd: added a stop_delay counter for delaying the replies to 'stop ret_dat' commands; added the QUICK_REPLY and QUICK_REPLY_PAUSE states to pause the return of replies to stop commands; added extra handling to the LD_STATUS state to avoid mixing stop replies, and replies to data or simple commands; added stop reply pause logic to DONE state
- ret_dat_wbs.vhd: added the stop_delay_o, rcs_to_report_data, and cards_to_report_o interfaces; implemented a custom register from cards_to_report and stop_delay; removed the register for ret_dat_card_addr which was a special case of cards_to_report.
- ret_dat_wbs_pack: added the constant DEFAULT_CARDS_TO_REPORT
- Bugs:
- Reading back rcs_to_report_data returns zero (fixed)
- Can't issue simple commands during data taking (???)
- Can't read from RC4 (fixed)
- See MCE Bugs (Internal MCE Wiki)

Revision 4.0.9
- Filename: cc_v04000009
- Features:
- Header Version 6
- Integrated a bug fix for the sram_ctrl block
- Integrated new all_cards block of code which was causing a synthesis warning in ModelSim
- Two new commands added: card_type, scratch.
- Bugs:
- In fast DAS, if I try to issue ‘w cc led 1 2 3 … 58’, the MCE/ DAS will fail at the second command.
- Cards with no firmware loaded are treated as ‘not present’ and therefore replies come back as OK as oppose to ER. (comment added by MA)
- When PSUC is not present (or fails), rb psc psc_status comes back as OK with all entries as 0. (comment added by MA)
- fpga_temp readings are way off.
- Switching to Application Config sometimes fails and the red light comes up.
- If the FPGA on a card is not programmed, it does not report an error (it treats the card as the not-present card and therefore the error is masked).
- If PSUC is not present and not communicating, CC doesn't report error and instead reports RBOK
- None reported yet
