AMC13 to AMC Backplane Link

We have developed firmware to assist AMC module developers in communicating with the AMC13.

• BackplaneLinkDiagram.pdf – Diagram of link
• DAQ_Link_wu.vhdl – sample DAQ link firmware from HCAL uHTR. This version is for a Virtex-6 and a 2.5Gb/s Fabric A link.
• DTC_v6.zip – sample TTC receiver firmware (updated 19 June 2013)

The link consists of two separate parts. First is the TTC receiver which handles the TTC clock, received on FCLKA from the MicroTCA backplane with the TTC serial bit stream on Fabric B at 80 Mb/s. The second is the DAQ link, which carries DAQ and trigger data back to the AMC13.
