ARM board (1/14/2011) • Statistics • 1670 components • 5839 solder joints • 4 routing layers • 6 power planes • 1858 vias • total trace length 35 m • dimensions 220 x 233.35 mm • 3 FPGA’s (1 P/N, 2 designs)
ARM board (1/14/2011) • “Design” is ~finished but a few practical technicalities remain: • setup gerber output • QFN (ADC) pad/paste/via design, then 3 traces to route through it • some plane segmentation needs improvement • a few clearance violations and overlap errors (line vertex slightly off-location) need to be fixed • double-check CPCI connector footprint & other critical mechanical features • plugged via specification (add a new drawing layer & segregate via types) • fab drawing • check line widths; check via usage (3 sizes, maybe some wrong types to catch) • ANY FEEDBACK? CHANGES REQUESTED? QUESTIONS? • complete “skeleton” FPGA designs and verify pinout is ok (is 90% done for FE) • final design checks and gerber prep • → RFQ [ 1/17/2011 ] and order boards (probably 18 boards, Sierra) • component value cleanup (can happen after fab submission) • order remaining components • need to change component values in cable equalization circuit (1 day) • → RFQ [ 1/24/2011 ] and order assembly (3 boards, Sierra)
ARC status (1/14/2011) • Initial checkout of the board continues at ANL • Have made some progress on the microcontroller/FPGA interface, however there are some delays due to another engineer who is needed to help with this, being called off to another project • Lab computer setup delayed by remote access issues for Tonko. GV points out preliminary checkout of the SIU link can happen with old DDL software. This hasn’t happened yet, but I think the point is now understood. • Nevertheless, just heard from Hal that Tonko has access since yesterday to the computer and could set it up. (Of course, just now is run 11 setup, not great timing.) • ARM-ARC interface document being finalized by John. Some changes to the interface based on ARC and ARM design experience. • Expected shipment of first ARC from ANL to IU today or Monday. Board only, firmware to follow at a later date.
ABC status (1/14/2011) • ABC = “ARM Back-of-Crate” (cable connector board) • Bob Abruzzio is doing this. Need an update (at meeting I hope). • Layout is nearly complete when I last saw it, gave a few small change requests to him. Should be done by now if he has been able to work on this. I don’t know what other tasks may conflict.
