[subexp-daq] NURDLIB: - how to check which version is installed and how to update to the most recent version

Mon Jan 8 11:29:45 CET 2024

Dear Hans,

I copied the directory of our existing DAQ system:

> cp -r old_daq new_daq

Then deleted the NURDLIB folder, downloaded the new one and switched to the mcal_daq_merge branch using

> git checkout mcal_daq_merge

Then I connected to the RIO and tried to compile in the folder of the new NURDLIB. This is the result:

RIO4-MCAL-2 mbsdaq > make clean
Could not figure out RFX1 firmware (8-xdigit number), skipping.
TRIDI_FW=d374466d
VULOM4_FW=d96ffc88
RFX1_FW=
rm -rf build_cc_ppc-linux_4.2.2_debug

No further message and a new folder build_cc_ppc-linux_4.2.2_debug is not created.

When checking the Makefile, I noticed that in the old NURDLIB folder there is no /gmake, instead there is a file make.mk which probably does the same job.

Probably there are some adjustment that I need to make, so that the new NURDLIB version can compile on our system. But I don't know where to look at, unfortunately.

Could you give us advice?

Best greetings

Günter

Dear Günter,

I would very much suggest to do the 'update' in a copy of the directory
tree that you are using, such that it is very easy to go back.  (Or go
between the systems.)

For the update, something along the lines:

git fetch origin   # or instead of 'origin' the shorthand you have for the
                    # remote repo

git log --all --decorate --graph --oneline --color   # just to see where
                                        # you are, and where you would go

git checkout mcal_daq_merge    # if that fails, try origin/mcal_daq_merge

You would want to run the git commands etc on the PC, but compilations of
code that runs on the RIO needs to be done on the RIO.

A 'make clean' is probbaly a healthy start.

But first - please make sure to work in copied directory tree.

Cheers,
Håkan
