H2M in Boreal firmware:

• H2M, 65nm monolithic chip, as a pilot project ported from standlone firmware to the new common Boreal firmware architecture
• H2M firmware packaged as separate IPs for ZC706 and ZCU102
  • Mostly due to the different FIFO interfces for ZC706 and ZCU102
• Successful synthesis/implementation for ZC706
  • Tested basic chip configuration using Peary
• Currently working on constraints for ZCU102
  • To be tested using Peary

ZCU102 support:

• Petalinux image including Peary and EUDAQ can be built using Peta-Caribou 
• Currently figuring out I2C bus mapping for ZCU102 to allow for CaR board control

 

Mercury+ ST1 support:

• Working image built with Petalinux 2023.2 
• Build workflow not integrated into Peta-Caribou and srtill need to include all the necessary recipes (Peray, EUDAQ, ...)
