typical sequence and expected frequency of use.

|
|
Local running tool
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|
|
:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_run.get_argparser
|
|
:prog: artiq_run
|
|
|
|
Static compiler
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This tool compiles an experiment into a ELF file. It is primarily used to prepare binaries for the default experiment 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.
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|
|
:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_compile.get_argparser
|
|
:prog: artiq_compile
|
|
|
|
Flash storage image generator
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This tool compiles key/value pairs into a binary image suitable for flashing into the flash storage space of the core device.
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|
|
:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_mkfs.get_argparser
|
|
:prog: artiq_mkfs
|
|
|
|
.. _flashing-loading-tool:
|
|
|
|
Flashing/Loading tool
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
.. argparse::
|
|
:ref: artiq.frontend.artiq_flash.get_argparser
|
|
:prog: artiq_flash
|
|
|
|
.. _core-device-management-tool:
|
|
|
|
Core device management tool
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The artiq_coremgmt utility gives remote access to the core device logs, the :ref:`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 device database; otherwise, a device database file can be provided with ``--device-db`` or an address directly with ``--device`` (see also below).
|
|
|
|
To read core device logs::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt log
|
|
|
|
To set core device log level and UART log level (possible levels are ``TRACE``, ``DEBUG``, ``INFO``, ``WARN`` and ``ERROR``)::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt log set_level LEVEL
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt log set_uart_level LEVEL
|
|
|
|
Note that enabling the ``TRACE`` log level results in small core device slowdown, and printing large amounts of log messages to the UART results in significant core device slowdown.
|
|
|
|
To read the record whose key is ``mac``::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config read mac
|
|
|
|
To write the value ``test_value`` in the key ``my_key``::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config write -s my_key test_value
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config read my_key
|
|
b'test_value'
|
|
|
|
You can also write entire files in a record using the ``-f`` parameter. This is useful for instance to write the startup and idle kernels in the flash storage::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config write -f idle_kernel idle.elf
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config read idle_kernel | head -c9
|
|
b'\x7fELF
|
|
|
|
You can write several records at once::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config write -s key1 value1 -f key2 filename -s key3 value3
|
|
|
|
To remove the previously written key ``my_key``::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config remove my_key
|
|
|
|
You can remove several keys at once::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config remove key1 key2
|
|
|
|
To erase the entire flash storage area::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config erase
|
|
|
|
You do not need to remove a record in order to change its value, just overwrite it::
|
|
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config write -s my_key some_value
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config write -s my_key some_other_value
|
|
$ artiq_coremgmt config read my_key
|
|
b'some_other_value'
|
|
|
|

:prog: artiq_coremgmt

Core device RTIO analyzer tool
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
:mod:`~artiq.frontend.artiq_coreanalyzer` is a tool to convert core device RTIO logs to VCD waveform files that are readable by third-party tools such as GtkWave. This tool extracts pre-recorded data from an ARTIQ core device buffer (or from a file with the ``-r`` option), and converts it to a standard VCD file format. See :ref:`rtio-analyzer-example` for an example, or :mod:`artiq.test.coredevice.test_analyzer` for a relevant unit test.
