Work progress log

2012-01-12

• (Update) Boards production:  quotation for fabrication received. New comparison study between the quotations received until now is here. 
• Development of firmware program for additional hardware programming
• Found cause of Front Board malfunction - incorrectly soldered component. This error was found on yet another module that was reportedly malfunctional and was only used to test carrier mechanics. Solder rework required at IPFN.

2012-01-25

• Received carrier module after rework at IPFN
• Test supply voltages and programmimg FPGA OK
• PCIe refclk is now available at the FPGA
• Unable to establish PCIe communication with 3 and 7m cable

2012-01-26

• Continuing tests using other motherboards.
• Impedance measure of PCIe lanes and Refclk.
• Board cleaning.
• Lusodabel reports 2 ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 modules didn't pass electrical tests and will be sent later.

2012-01-27

• Arrived 5 ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 and ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM pcbs.
• finalizing production package for ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM.
• contuning test of current hardware versions using different re-driver configurations.

2012-01-30

• PCIe communication was achieved and module is detected via lspci command. Tests will continue upon arrival of newer version of the ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM.
• Sending ATCA-PTSW-AMC4_RTM pcbs to HFA.

2012-01-31
