|
|
.. Sort these tool by some subjective combination of their

|
typical sequence and expected frequency of use.
|
|
|
|
.. As in main_frontend_reference, automodule directives display nothing and are here to make :mod: links possible
|
|
|
|
.. _afws-client:
|
|
|
|
ARTIQ Firmware Service (AFWS) client
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.afws_client
|
|
|
|
This tool serves as a client for building tailored firmware and gateware from M-Lab's servers and downloading the binaries in ready-to-flash format. It is necessary to have a valid subscription to AFWS to use it. Subscription also includes general helpdesk support and can be purchased or extended by contacting ``sales@``. One year of support is included with any Kasli carriers or crates containing them purchased from M-Labs. Additional one-time use is generally provided with purchase of additional cards to facilitate the system configuration change.

passwd
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
After receiving your credentials from M-Labs, it is recommended to change your password as soon as possible. It is your responsibility to set and remember a secure password. If necessary, passwords can be reset by contacting helpdesk@.
|
|
|
|
Static compiler
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_compile
|
|
|
|
Compiles an experiment into a ELF file (or a TAR file if the experiment involves subkernels). It is primarily used to prepare binaries for the startup and idle kernels, loaded in non-volatile storage of the core device. Experiments compiled with this tool are not allowed to use RPCs, and their ``run`` entry point must be a kernel.

|
Flash storage image generator
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_mkfs
|
|
|
|
Compiles key/value pairs (e.g. configuration information) into a binary image suitable for flashing into the storage space of the core device. It can be used in combination with ``artiq_flash`` to configure the core device, but this is normally necessary at most to set the ``ip`` field; once the core device is reachable by network it is preferable to use ``artiq_coremgmt config``. Not applicable to ARTIQ-Zynq, where preconfiguration is better achieved by loading ``config.txt`` onto the SD card.

|
|
|
|
Flashing/Loading tool
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_flash
|
|
|
|
Allows for flashing and loading of various files onto the core device. Not applicable to ARTIQ-Zynq, where gateware and firmware should be loaded onto the core device with :mod:`~artiq.frontend.artiq_coremgmt`, directly copied onto the SD card, or (for developers) using the :ref:`ARTIQ netboot <zynq-jtag-boot>` utility.
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::

:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_flash.get_argparser

.. _core-device-management-tool:
|
|
|
|
Core device management tool
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_coremgmt
|
|
|
|
The core management utility gives remote access to the core device logs, the :ref:`core device flash storage <core-device-flash-storage>`, and other management functions.
|
|
|
|
To use this tool, it is necessary to specify the IP address your core device can be contacted at. If no option is used, the utility will assume there is a file named ``device_db.py`` in the current directory containing the :ref:`device database <device-db>`; otherwise, a device database file can be provided with ``--device-db`` or an address directly with ``--device`` (see also below).

.. _ddb-template-tool:
|
|
|
|
Device database template generator
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_ddb_template
|
|
|
|
This tool generates a basic template for a :ref:`device database <device-db>` given the JSON description file(s) for the system. Entries for :ref:`controllers <environment-ctlrs>` are not generated.
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|

|
|
RTIO channel name map tool
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_rtiomap
|
|
|
|
This tool encodes the map of RTIO channel numbers to names in a format suitable for writing to the config key ``device_map``. See :ref:`config-rtiomap`.
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|
|
:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_rtiomap.get_argparser

|
Core device RTIO analyzer tool
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_coreanalyzer
|
|
|
|
This tool retrieves core device RTIO logs either as raw data or as VCD waveform files, which are readable by third-party tools such as GtkWave. See :ref:`rtio-analyzer` for an example, or :mod:`artiq.test.coredevice.test_analyzer` for a relevant unit test.
|
|
|
|
Using the management system, the respective functionality is provided by :mod:`~artiq.frontend.aqctl_coreanalyzer_proxy` and the dashboard's 'Waveform' tab; see :ref:`interactivity-waveform`.

|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. automodule:: artiq.frontend.artiq_route
|
|
|
|
This tool allows for manipulation of a DRTIO routing table file, which can be transmitted to the core device using :mod:`artiq_coremgmt config write<artiq.frontend.artiq_coremgmt>`; see :ref:`drtio-routing`.
