“…The Trenz-Serenity Platform is the platform being used at KIT for the development of a centralized management architecture based on ZynqUS+ [6]. Its main components are the Serenity ATCA Carrier Card [12] and a Trenz TE0803 module [13] hosted on a custom adapter card (Trenz Adapter), which allows the TE0803 to fit into the slot -originally designed to accommodate a COMExpress industrial computer [14] -present on the Serenity board (Fig. 6).…”

OpenIPMC is a free and open source firmware designed to operate as an Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC). An IPMC is a fundamental component of electronic boards conformant to the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) standard, currently being adopted by a number of high energy physics experiments, and is responsible for monitoring the health parameters of the board, managing its power states, and providing board control, debug and recovery functions to remote clients. OpenIPMC is based on the FreeRTOS real-time operating system and is designed to be architecture-independent, allowing it to be built for a variety of different Microcontrollers. Having a fully free and open source code is an innovative aspect for this kind of firmware, allowing full customization by the user. In this work we present the features and structure of OpenIPMC and its example implementations on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ (ZynqUS+), Espressif ESP32, and ST Microelectronics STM32 architectures.

“…Currently, two hardware approaches are being developed as part of the R&D program within the level-1 trigger community [5]. The Serenity [6] board uses a commercial COM-Express Type-10 module with an Intel Atom CPU running CentOS Linux, assisted by a small Artix7 FPGA for low-level control (e.g., I 2 C, JTAG). The COM-Express communicates to the main FPGAs via PCIe Gen2 protocol and uses the CERN-IPMC [7] for shelf management tasks running the Pigeon Point commercial software [8].…”

Data acquisition systems (DAQ) for high energy physics experiments utilize complex FPGAs to handle unprecedented high data rates, especially in the first stages of the data processing chain. The complexity of developing and commissioning these systems increases as additional local processing intelligence is placed closer to the detector directly on the ATCA blades. On the other hand, sophisticated slow control is as well desired. In this contribution, we introduce a novel solution for ATCA based systems, which combines the IPMI, a Linux based slow-control software, and an FPGA for custom slow-control tasks in one single Zynq Ultrascale+ (ZUS+) System-on-Chip (SoC) module.

The CMS collaboration has chosen a novel high granularity calorimeter for the endcap regions as part of its planned upgrade for the high luminosity LHC. The calorimeter will have fine segmentation in both the transverse and longitudinal directions and will be the first such calorimeter specifically optimised for particle-flow reconstruction to operate at a colliding-beam experiment. The calorimeter data will form part of the Level 1 trigger of the CMS experiment and, together with tracking information that will also be available at this level, should allow particle-flow techniques to be used as part of this trigger. The trigger has tight contraints on latency and rate, and will need to be implemented in hardware. The high granularity results in around six million readout channels in total, a million of which are also used as part of the Level 1 trigger, presenting a significant challenge in terms of data manipulation and processing for the trigger system. The trigger data volumes will be an order of magnitude above those currently handled at CMS. In addition, the high luminosity will result in an average of 140 (or more) interactions per bunch crossing that give a huge background rate in the forward region and these will need to be efficiently rejected by the trigger algorithms. Furthermore, reconstruction of the particle clusters to be used for particle flow in events with high hit rates is also a complex computational problem for the trigger. The status of the trigger architecture and design, as well as the concepts for the algorithms needed in order to tackle these major issues, will be presented.
