<p>Dear Hans,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>the output from manual reading of the module indeed shows a problem:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div>RIO4-MCAL-1 mbsdaq > rwdump -a0x33333300 -r16<br>
Address=0x33333300<br>
Raw-read value=rwdump: line 28: 593 Bus error $PREFIX $f "$@"</div>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The module was working with this address in the other DAQ system (as we did not know the order of the individual switches, we set them all to "3"). But I can take it our and put it in again at a different slot, if maybe this particular slot has a hardware
problem. (But I never heard of such thing.)</p>

<div dir="auto">Dear Günter,<br>
<br>
map_map before mapping tries to read and write some given registers with a "safe" but slower method of accessing registers, which is called "poking" in nurdlib. Maybe the method of access on the rio4 you have is not safe enough and one of the two pokes fails
horribly...<br>
<br>
Could you please double check the module address? Could you also try using bin/rwdump to read any register in the v560 to see if it's accessible at all and not a problem with the module implementation in nurdlib?<br>
<br>
Something like bin/rwdump -a0x33333300 -r16<br>
<br>
Actually the address 0x33333300 looks weird to me, maybe it should be 0x33330000?<br>
Also for reading, try register offsets fa, fc, fe, with 16 bits accesseses, they should have some interesting values.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Hans<br>

Dear Günter,<br>
<br>
I took the files you provided and for comparison put them in a branch <br>
'old_caen_v560'.<br>
<br>
git diff origin/old_caen_v560..origin/master<br>
<br>
however does not show anything which is suspicious to me. Perhaps Hans <br>
can spot something.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, the only idea I can come up with is to continue to bisect the <br>
code inside slow init.<br>
<br>
However, before that, I would suggest to add<br>
<br>
fflush(stdout); sleep(1);<br>
<br>
after each printf statement, such that one can be quite sure that the <br>
printout is not eaten when the RIO crash happens. I.e. that it actually <br>
had gotten further than shown by the prints.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Hċkan<br>
