The build system for the Mu3e DAQ firmware — •Alexandr Kozlinskiy — Institut für Kernphysik, JGU Mainz
The Mu3e experiment is designed to search for the lepton flavor violating decay µ+ → e+e−e+ with the aim of reaching a branching ratio sensitivity of 10−16. The experiment is located at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). The existing beam line will provide 108 muons per second and at first will allow to reach a sensitivity of a few 10−15.
The readout system of Mu3e utilizes Intel FPGA chips for which the firmware and IP components are compiled with the Quartus software package. To streamline the development and testing of the Mu3e DAQ firmware, custom scripts and tools were developed to allow for building and testing of the firmware directly from the command line and on the continuous integration server where firmware for all subsystems is built on each commit. This allowes for faster iteration on firmware designs and better tracking of regressions during development.
The talk will present the scripts and tools, and the overall design of the build system for the Mu3e DAQ firmware.
