BYPASS PROGRAMMING


These instructions are for experts in case of a need to program a Bypass boards. Only to be used if Anna Maria is not around. Send a mail to Anna Maria Zanetti if you re-program a board.



The programming files for the chips Outspy,Spymux,Vme are the same as the Merger.  The only chip firmware that is different is Arbiter:
Chip Date Firmware version Note
Arbiter 15May05 51


The programming file can be found on the FERMI Windows system in:
\\cdfserver1.fnal.gov\CDFusers\zanetti\MERGER_POF\Bypass


TO PROGRAM  THE  BYPASS:

There are three JTAG connectors on the component side of the board to program the five Altera chips (look at the serigraphie or to the image below to know which is which).  Just use the lower JTAG connector (I assume you start from a board programmed as a Merger).
