Linux (CentOS Stream 8) which is used as the test environment, including all necessary tools and modules. And also describes the tests which are intended to check the functional operation of all the interfaces and devices as part of the PXIeCOMe v0 prototypes. -
Page 6: Standards And Documents
STANDARDS AND DOCUMENTS COM Express The COM Express specification defines a family of Computer On Module (COM) single board computers. The requested COM Express Basic form factor and type 6 pin out have been defined in PIGMG COM.0 R2.0 and R3.0. The standard is available via https://www.picmg.org/. -
Page 7: Installation
The mSATA SSD, which will be used to test the PXIeCOMe, should be prepared by installing Linux CentOS Stream 8 on it. For this a validated PXIeCOMe board can be use, but when no validated PXIeCOMe boards are available a COM Express type 6 carrier board can also be used. -

COMe-bTL6. This BIOS file defines the PCIe lanes 0 to 7 as two 4 lane links. This BIOS file can be found in the Kontron Customer Section on their site or will be provided by CERN. CERN preferred COMe-bTL6 (with ATM) -
Page 13: Test: Pre-Checks
Before starting the test procedures, it is needed to wear an antistatic wrist band to avoid electrostatic issues when handling the boards and the cables. Assembly The PXIeCOMe will be subject to the tests in a fully assembled state including a Kontron COMe-bCL6 or COMe-bTL6 board. Visual inspection No special test setup is required since the tests to be carried out are visual inspections and analysis of the board. -
Page 14: Test: Preperation
TEST: PREPERATION Auxiliary equipment To be able to perform the tests a set of auxiliary cables and equipment is needed, which consists of the following list: • NI PXIe-1075, 18-Slot PXI Express chassis. • INCAA Computers CPE-PXCT-19916, PXi Communication Tester, for Peripheral Slot. •... -

Page 21: Changing Bios
Changing BIOS The BIOS settings need to be checked and changed according to the following: • Turn the power supply of the PXIe chassis on, so the system can start. Since the BIOS has changed, the COMe module needs to scan the system in which it is active. For this the system will restart automatically several times before it can be used. -

Page 29: Log Files Retrieval
Log files retrieval When the testing of all the boards has finished, it is needed to deliver all the log files to CERN. To do so, please follow the instructions: As the log files are written to the mSATA disk which is used during the tests of the boards the mSATA needs to be accessed using the last PXIeCOMe system under test.
