Overview
This project describes the production test system for the
PXIeCOMe card.
It is based on a PXIeCOMe carrier
board and a Kontron COMe-bCL6 COM Express module.
The test system is based on the PTS (Production Test Suite)
framework.
It is used in the pxie-ctl-comexpress-tst project as an independent module which should be installed on the mSATA module used by the COM Express module during the test.
Test system setup
Required hardware
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.
- INCAA Computers CPE-PXCT-19917, PXi Communication Tester, for System Timing Slot.
- A display with a DisplayPort interface.
- Full size mSATA SSD containing the CentOS 8 and PTS installation.
- USB mouse
- USB keyboard
- 2x USB 3.0 capable USB stick, like a SanDisk Ultra Flair, or equivalent sized USB stick. These should contain the BIOS update files.
- Xilinx Platform cable USB II (or equivalent) to be controlled using Xilinx Vivado (Labtools).
- USB-Serial adapter, like a Eminent EM1016, Prolific PL2303, or equivalent.
- 2x RS232 DSub9 male to female cable.
- A CAT-5A or CAT-6 Ethernet cable attached to the LAN and internet.
- DisplayPort cable
- SMB to SMB coaxial cable.
- An anti-static wrist band.
