CDFVME -- Software framework for testing VME boards
New VME based boards are being produced for the Run II of the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). These boards are being developed and tested at both Fermilab and offsite institutions. A software framework called CDFVME has been developed in which DAQ code can be easily written to control such boards in a test stand. The framework has been used to perform diagnostics at single board, multi-board, and multi-crate levels. This software framework runs on Unix, Linux and Windows NT platforms with a Java GUI communicating via LAN to multiple intelligent front end VME crates. All distributed processes are managed by a custom CORBA based software. The system has been ported to Motorola 68K and PPC front end processors running the VxWorks real-time kernel [1].
