Description
The RCE DAQ system is based on System-On-Chip building Blocks (RCEs) residing in Virtex-4/5 FPGAs and hosted within an ATCA based ecosystem with generic high bandwidth capabilities and 10-GE support. User applications in C++ run on the PowerPC core of the RCEs under the real-time operating system RTEMS.
We will present a new application of these flexible DAQ building blocks targeted for the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade with full implementation of calibrations and multi-channel read-out. This application is used in both test-beam and cosmic telescope experiments, and in exploring the viability of this concept for an upgraded readout system.
