---++ AMC13 Software Meeting 2013-12-05

Attendance:
   * Eric, Arno

We attempted to define more clearly the scope of the project and tasks.  First,
the project scope:
   * Re-write C++ low-level support code for AMC13
   * API is similar to existing one:
      * set/get methods for parameters on AMC13
      * action methods to change state
   * Structured from the start to fit the Cactus repository project model
   * Python interface provided using BOOST

Some more proposals:
   * All new code based on total re-write of address table
   * No dependencies on HCAL or other software on e.g. cms2

Action items:
   * Work on address table (BU)
   * Write a few sample functions using new address table (BU)
   * Study MP7 and existing AMC13 code and start writing an API specification (BU)
   * Study Cactus project layout and make a skeleton "hello world" project (Arno, BU)
   * Sort out IPBus/uHAL compatibility with various IPBus versions and endianness (Arno, uHAL developers)

Next meeting could be Monday.
