  1. PACS On-board Software & User Manual A. Belbachir (UVIE/TUVIE, SPU) H. Feuchtgruber (MPE, SE) A. Mazy (CSL, DMC) S. Pezzuto (IFSI, DPU) PACS OBSW

  2. -5 commandable units • 6 interfaces • ~27 Mbytes memory • (PROM,EEPROM,PRAM,DRAM) • Virtuoso RTOS • 2 different detection systems • Autonomous operation • Uplink bandwidth limit • Downlink bandwidth limit • Redundant units MTL Blue arrows : TC/SCI/HK Green arrows : TC/HK Red lines : power Black : analog lines PACS OBSW

  3. DPU OBSW – Status (1) • Last Version : 7.65 delivered on 25th October • 73 Requirements in last URD (Version 2.5) • 88% implemented • 5% missing specifications • 4% no longer applicable • 3% obsolete • 34 OBCP available to activate subsystems, to enter specific observing/operative modes (incl. SAFE), to execute measurements, to calibrate the instrument, stand-alone test PACS OBSW

  4. DPU OBSW – Status (2) • Open Issues • (Major) On time scale of 36/48 hours, a 1553 memory corruption occurs (SPR-0230); NCR raised and delivered to CGS on November 19th • Loading of OBCP implemented but not tested; • AF not defined; this may have impact on OBSW • PS-ICD V4 compatible apart from req. 1020-A1 on bit alignment are (necessarily) violated in HK packets • Burst mode successfully tested with CDMS simulator provided by RAL; communications almost stopped with CDMU provided by SSBV already at nominal HK rate (1 packet/2 seconds). No reason identified yet PACS OBSW

  5. DPU OBSW – Status (3) • As part of the new contract ASI-CGS, IFSI provides the OBSW as subcontractor of CGS • Version delivered to CGS is 7.63 (minor bugs wrt version 7.65, irrelevant for what the SW is aimed to, i.e. test tool for CGS HW) • Version 7.63, Version 1 for CGS, is going to pass the whole SW verification and validation phase. The 1st phase (test at IFSI with AVM1) has been done on 16/17 December; on 20/21/22 December test repetition at CGS premises with IFSI AVM1 first, and then with new AVM2, both tests were successful, only a minor SW update for the DPU reset was required to work on both models AVM 1 and AVM2. • Upon acceptance Version 1 will be easily upgraded to Version 7.65 PACS OBSW

  6. DPU OBSW – CAPTEC Report • Possible problems of interference between tasks when accessing global or static variables. These conditions have been isolated and solved in almost all cases. Minor problems will be corrected in future releases. • Documents : missing parts have been inserted • SW requirements matrix in SSD • How to build a new image in SUM • Improvement in documentation expected with new personnel PACS OBSW

  7. DPU OBSW – Documents • URD --> Issue 2.5, 1 December 2004 • SSD --> Issue 2.2, 1 December 2004 • SVVP --> Issue 3.2, 1 December 2004 • OBS Test Report --> New issue after test activities with CGS • SUM --> Issue 1.7, 15 September 2004 (1.8 in prep. for CGS) • They follow guidelines given in BSSC(96)2 Modifications of SW Version 1 will proceed formally through CGS (via RID, SPR, NCR), to evaluate the impact on the documents and on the code. For Version 2 CGS only asks to be informed of changes in documents and to have the new versions. Delivery of SW Version 2 goes directly to Consortia. PACS OBSW

  8. DPU OBSW – Next developments and maintenance • Activities detailed in “DPU/ICU OBS Version 2 Development Plan” - CNR-IFSI-2004-PL001 • Mainly: • Version 1 : support to CGS activities (eg integration with next models); consolidation activities • Version 2 : design and development activities toward FM Activities for version 1 and 2 will be covered by different contracts with ASI and CGS IFSI is looking for two SW engineers to help in all these activities, from SW coding to documentation. PACS OBSW

  9. DPU OBSW – Boot and Application SW • When DPU is switched on FPGA copies boot SW from PROM (EPROM in AVM) to 21020 Program Memory • Boot SW checks PM, DM and EEPROM. If all the checks are OK, an event TM(5,2) is reported • If the command FORCE BOOT is sent, the application SW is copied from EEPROM to PM and started • Alternatively, a new image can be uploaded via service TM(6,2) Implementation of this service in the boot SW is not fully PS-ICD compliant. • Version 7.63 (and also 7.65) requires 1368 TC. If all TC are correctly received (no event TM(5,4) is reported), after the command LOAD TC AND BOOT is sent, the application SW is copied from DM into PM, and started PACS OBSW

  10. DPU OBSW – Default Status of Application SW (1) • 1553 interface : nominal mode; burst mode only if commanded • 1355 interface : SMCS332 initialized, links not started • HK list : non prime (1 packet of 382 bytes /2 seconds); additional HK packet (1 packet equivalent to non prime HK every 10 seconds) • OBCP : 34 available, ready to be started • AF : 2 available, one for BOL (even if not used) and one for test purposes. By default AF are disabled (enabling each AF is supposed to be part of the transition from one operative/observing mode to another one) PACS OBSW

  11. DPU OBSW – Default Status of Application SW (2) • Available TM packets (not considering events) : 25 (19 are enabled); science transmission disabled. Each SPU array can be enabled separately. TM (1,1) and TM(1,2) can not be disabled (but TM(1,1) is generated only if a specific bit in the TC packet header is set). Also essential HK packet can not be disabled • Events defined : 27 --> 24 are TM(5,1), 3 are TM(5,2), 0 TM(5,4). • TM(5,2) are : request to switch off BOL-C; request to set PACS in SAFE mode; message to satellite “PACS ready to be switched off”. Each event can be disabled one by one. PACS OBSW

  12. DPU OBSW – User Manual Main purpose : how to send commands to DPU, meaning of parameters (for DPU commands), understanding TM packets (TC verification, HK, events, science ...) - How to build and load a new image - Content of HK packets - List of OBCP, functions and DMC sequences. Usage of special OBCP (starting 1355 links, writing image in EEPROM, starting application SW in subsystems) Structured following PS-ICD : if service (x,y) is used, operational instructions are found in Section 4.x.y while a more technical description is given in Section 5.x.y PACS OBSW

  13. Summary Status of SPU HLSW • SW actual version: 11.1 dated of 23-Jul-2004. • SW configuration: • The CVS repository at Leuven has all SW versions, tools and release notes. • SW problems are reported through the SPR system. • All SW documents are at PACS Central File at Leuven. • Documentation: • User Manual issue 11.1 dated of 23-Jul-2004. • SW Specifications issue 4.3 dated of 30-Mar-2004. • Release Note issue 11.1 dated of 23-Jul-2004. • User Requirements issue 3.1 dated of 29-Mar-2004. • Others: ICDs, Test Plan and Test Reports (see CIDL). • CAPTEC Review on 05-06 April 2004 in Vienna PACS OBSW

  14. Detailed Status of SPU HLSW Version 11.1 (1) • The software has been tested on the AVM SPU and resides in its EEPROM; Boot SW – HLSW interfaces by command; • Command/response, HK and science protocols DPU-SPU-DMC are tested and o.k. • 13 different compression/reduction modes available and tested • SW updates either directly to EEPROM or to RAM are possible and tested. One memory load command to both SPU processors is replicated inside the DPU and then sent to SPU-L and SPU-S as two independent commands. • Test mode for spectroscopy and photometry available PACS OBSW

  15. Detailed Status of SPU HLSW Version 11.1 (2) • Open issues: • Compression ratio is too small and/or CPU workload becomes too high. Closer match to actual detector data required. • Sporadic misalignment of science data header vs. science data (not clear if SPU or DMC, however most likely SPU) PACS OBSW

  16. SPU Documentation PACS OBSW

  20. DMC Software status: open issues • Open SPRs: • 161 – Non nominal behaviour of DMC_FW_GRATHALL_A&B: not a software problem • 250 – Swoff spectro array should never be rejected: accepted for implementation in future version • Others: • Grating controller error detection still need some improvements • Some FPGA bug correction still need to be removed when the final version of the FPGA will be available PACS OBSW

  21. DMC Software status: autonomy concept • No autonomy in DMC OBS except for: • To protect grating from bad operation, the controller can be disabled by DMC OBS when some errors are detected. PACS OBSW

  22. DMC Software status: SUSW – ASW interaction • SUSW is used to copy from EEPROM to RAM or to upload new version of ASW in RAM (the writing in EEPROM is done in the ASW itself) • SUSW does not have to know anything about ASW => no SUSW update required. Everything is done via commanding. PACS OBSW

  23. Software status : default settings in DMC OBS • All writeable parameters have default parameters. • The mechanisms controller defaults values are for room T° operations • All functionalities are available without overwriting any of the default values (except for the grating direction that must be inverted for grating QM) • Simulated science test modes available PACS OBSW
