3. Context and architecture overview - After LS1, equipment groups will be responsible for their own systems/FECs and will provide first line support for them- Some controls-related FEC functionalities are generic and is provided by CO- CGFES (CO Generic Front-end Software) provides FESA classes supporting the following functionalities: Function generation Digital input/outputAnalog input/output Delay of pulses - COHAL = CO Hardware Abstraction Layer Applications / Working sets / Knobs InCA/LSA/AcqCore CMW FESA framework CGFES (FESA classes) COHAL Driverlib Driver Firmware FEC module Field bus Machine hardware Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

4. Objectives • Migrate a maximum number of GM devices to FESA3 • Migrate a maximum number of FESA2 devices to FESA3 • Align the COHAL layer with CO standards Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

7. ProgressCOHAL now conforms to CO standards • Moved to Make generic • Releasing to SVN as <project>/<project-product> • Deploying using major.minor.tiny versioning • Documentation re-enabled and linked with CGFES Wikihttps://wikis.cern.ch/display/CGFES/CGFES • No support for LynxOS in new version • Compiles for SLC5 and SLC6 Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

8. ProgressCOHAL now provides diagnostics • Exceptions standardized and catchable by FESA • cmwLogging integrated • CMX integrated • New timing library (timdt) integrated • No timing service provided to FESA classes Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

13. PlanningDevice migrations * No EIS devices => not needed for access tests in Feb 2014 Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013

16. Conclusions • Changes in many components lead to big debugging overhead • COHAL layer aligned with CO conventions • CGFES FESA3 development 90% done, will be ready on time • Device migrations will be ready on time • Stabilize FESA / CCDB • Stabilize CMX • driverLib versioning, preferably as project/product • Firmware deployment procedure Required in order to prepare for operation: Steen Jensen, BE-CO-FE - CO Technical Commitee, 21 November 2013
