WP1 Alstom MicroFIP preliminary VHDL code interpretation
Description
In March 2009 CERN purchased from ALSTOM all the available design information regarding WorldFIP.
The work package 1 includes the
- verification of the purchased MicroFIP code with Modelsim, Synplicity Synplify, Mentor Precision and Actel (without simulation).
Two CERN engineers, Erik Van der Bij and Benjamin Todd, working independently will give their outcome.
The deliverables are
- list of warnings given by the different tools
- global documentation of each entity
- estimation of risks associated with modifying the code
- recommendation of choice between using the Alstom code with minor
modifications or writing a new MicroFIP-like
device from scratch (with possible re-use of certain Alstom modules)
The estimated duration is
- Two manweeks
Outcome
- 16-02-2009, B.Todd: WorldFIP insourcing project master/slave VHDL recuperation EDMS 975439
- 09-03-2009, E.Van der Bij: WorldFIP insourcing project CERNFIP WP1, Alstom microFIP preliminary VHDL code interpretation
