Description

Over the last few years, FPGA-based systems for high resolution data acquisition and high frequency control have taken significant relevance in the field of high energy physics and other associated research. When working with such varied embedded systems based on, for example, Zynq Ultrascale and Zynq-7000 series, it is necessary to create a method to build ad-hoc linux-based OS for the distinct product architectures. For this purpose, Buildroot tool is used for generating the cross-compilation toolchains needed and the related operating system. In order to carry out the task of integrating EPICS framework capabilities on the DAQ, control and synchronization products developed in Seven Solutions, EPICS base and some modules have been in Buildroot. In this way, all the custom OS built with this tool will be provided with full EPICS, either own architectures or standard architectures such as MicroTCA.
