Project Target Migration

In order to migrate a project for a board to another different target hardware, Sci-Compiler include an automatic tool that perform the project conversion

The tool use as input the actual opened project and allow to save in a different folder.

Pay attention to the limitation in migrating between board that use particular IP. For example the board X2740 has the LIST, Caen Digitizer elements that are designed just for that particular board indeed they can not be used in the new design.

The user must manually replace that elements with equivalent or similar blocks.

The table should be read FROM (horizontal) TO (vertical)

✅ The porting is possible safely and minor manual review of the design should be done.

⚠️ The porting is possible it’s likely that the user should review the design. At least the Digital I/O does not match and only a limited set of IP are not compatible between the two architectures.

❌ Even if the porting is possible, the major functionalities of the board are not supported by the target.

  1. No analog channels are present to the target.

  2. The digital I/O of the target are different (name/number) from the source board.

  3. Target has less analog input that source board.

  4. The source has important IP not supported by the target.

  5. The source has minor IP not supported by the target.

Migrating from Caen V274X to any other board

The V274X Digitizer family uses a particular IP for waveform digitizer and list readout designed to exploit the large DDR4 memory on the board. This IP are not compatible to other board but exist the equivalent block that must be replaced by the user.

The x2740 Digitizer can be replaced with the Digitizer IP or the Oscilloscope.

The x2740 List can be replaced with the List or the Custom Packet.
