Releases

All firmware can be downloaded from http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce_firmware/. Release notes for each firmware release can be found below:

Loading firmware onto cards

There are two ways to load MCE firmware:

  1. Remote firmware update over the MCE fibre interface
  2. Using Altera-supplied Hardware/Software and MCE Front-panel Connector

Things to bear in mind:

  • In v5+ firmware, if you update firmware on any readout card, the card doesn't reply to any command unless the Clock Card is also reprogrammed.
  • Always cleanly reset the MCE after a power-up or a reconfiguration! If not, MCE communication with the PC or Sync Box may not work. On MAS prompt, type: mce_reset_clean

Special cases:

MCE Firmware Bugs/ Features Under Development has been moved to the intmce:MCE bugs.
