How to configure a petal (instructions taken from DESY repo https://gitlab.cern.ch/desy-atlas/itk/petal-testing):

cd into the petal-testing directory and then execute the following commands:

Setup the FELIX dependencies: source dependencies/setupFELIX.sh

Initialize the FLX card flx-init

Invert the polarity (for lpGBTv1): flx-config set GBT_RXPOLARITY=0xFFFFFFFF

Verify the status of the PODs: flx-info POD

Check that all connected links are aligned: flx-info GBT

If testing the PPB R5 Vancouver Petal:

Configure the elinks on your FELIX card: source configs/elinks/elinks_petal_R5_640Mbs.sh

Check your config: elinkconfig Click on Read Cfg, then you can Quit

Push the lpGBT config to the petal chipset: fice -G0 -I71 configs/lpgbt/lpgbt_PT_M_LH_V1_Pri_hex.cnf

Verify this has worked (you should see the line "Compared 336 values, found 0 differences"): fice -G0 -I71 -C configs/lpgbt/lpgbt_PT_M_LH_V1_Pri_hex.cnf

Start FELIXCore and don't close this terminal: startFelixcore
