Added fwv command to the BUTool to display the firmware version running on the device. List now shows the Serial no., version and the ip address for the connected device.

Ran two more delay scans with power cycle with the old firmware.
Updated the firmware version to 9.2.1 firmware_ver
Power cycled again and ran the delay scan again

Building new firmware. Current user version is 1.2.1. Change to 9.2.1 for testin.

Note: CCM Board J15. We turned switches 1 and 2 towards the serial board, cycled the power and connected the cable. Ran the script uart_rpd_scan.py.
Results: scan1

Made a backup image of firmware supplied on flash card with ngFEC. Copied to another flash card and booted the module successfully.
Using glibtool2.exe, we can read the firmware revision:
>r system_regs.firmware_id Looking for "system_regs.firmware_id" Name system_regs.firmware_id translated to address 0x2 system_regs.firmware_id: 0x50021f79
(N.B. there are bugs in glibtoo2; it doesn't handle masks correctly).
To reprogram firmware using the CCM server:
$ /opt/ngFEC/ngFEC.exe -c -p 64000 tput fec-fg go_offline boot fec ...image_file_name.bit tput fec-fg go_online

Proper connections for power and fiber:

ngFEC installed. CCM server installed by Alan C on cms4.bu.edu. Basic instructions:
$ /opt/ngFEC/ngFEC.exe -c -p 64000 ... table timestamp ... tget HE2-cg fnrR1 # read front-end I2C regs ... get fec-sfp[2-7]_status.RxLOS_rr # read fiber status (LOS)

Trying using Vivado 2016.4 on home machine.
In ngFEC_vivado.tcl
:
set GBT_PATH /home/hazen/Proj/CMS/ngFEC/gbt_fpga_5_0_0 set IPBUS_PATH /home/hazen/Proj/CMS/ngFEC/ipbus_2_0_v1
Change version by 1 to x"fec1_0311"
.
Build in 15-20 min on home machine.
Apparently IP address is fixed at 192.168.0.80 in ngFEC_logic.vhd
:
ip_addr_o <= x"c0_a8_00_50";
But see FC-7 Adventures. There is more to this than meets the eye.
Now attempting to reproduce the success on watt.bu.edu using Vivado 2016.4.
