169030020 Issue A Phase Calibration Module Soft/Firmware Archive

This disk has all archive information relating to EEPROMs U54 and U55 used on
the PCM (1600030020), part of the JIVE MkIV Station Unit (1650020500)

Files 9030020A.U54 and 9030020A.U55 respectively are used to programme
U54 and U55.

COMB     - Where the array bit files are combined

Each gate array design ends with the generation of a bit stream file 'design'.bit.
The MAKEPROM utility converts the 6010020B, 6110020B, 6410020C, 6010020C bit files
to 6010020B.MCS file.  The MAKEPROM utility converts the 6210020E, 6310020C, 6410020C, 6010020C bit files
to 6210020E.MCS file.  These produce configuration files which can be converted
to the correct format for insertion into an include file for the firmware.

Run the batch file S.bat to generate a .P file.  i.e. S <6210020E> <6010020B>

The .fcf files contains the directives to convert the MCS files to a form suitable
for compiling into the microprocessor firmware.  However the file type needs
to be changed to .h and additional comment information added as below.

This may be done with any suitable ascii text editor.  An existing .h file can be
modified so that the new content overwrites the previous content.  The banner
in the .h file can be modified to identify the new gate array. 


To generate a new set of firmware using the new xilinx configuration ( assuming
a PC environment set up with the compiler etc.) have the new include files on
a floppy disk in drive a: and enter NEWROMS.  The NEWROMS batch file will
call make to build the firmware, then call splitrom via makeprom.bat to convert
the hex file to 2 files one for each eeprom to program.
