Providing YARR Software Support to Operate ATLAS-ITk Read-out Chips with BDAQ53 Hardware — •Wael Alkakhi, Joern Grosse-knetter, Arnulf Quadt, and Ali Skaf — II. Physikalisches Institut, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

During the ATLAS HL-LHC upgrade, the current inner detector is going to be replaced by an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk), using prototype and pre-production read-out chips, referred to as RD53A and RD53B respectively.

YARR is a DAQ system developed for the ITk detector. It is composed of a software communicating originally with several PCI-e FPGA hardware (HW) platforms. It was developed to read out different front-end (FE) chips with, recently, an extended support to other HW platforms. This work reports on providing the support for BDAQ53 FPGA platform, which was developed as a part of the BDAQ DAQ system, with its Ethernet connectivity. This enables YARR to read out both RD53A and RD53B (ITkPix-V1) FE chips, while preserving the original existing BDAQ53 firmware. In particular, this would be most helpful for several institutions of the ATLAS collaboration, having already a purchased BDAQ DAQ system. The work required to develop specific Hardware Abstraction Library (HAL) controller software blocs. Different RD53A and RD53B scans were successfully performed, validating the added BDAQ53 support.
