Description
Summary:This work presents the software environment surrounding the GBTX. The GBTX is a high speed bidirectional ASIC, implementing radiation hard optical links for high-energy physics experiments. Having more than 300 8-bit configuration registers, it poses challenges addressed by a wide variety of software components. This paper focuses on the software used for characterization as well as radiation and production testing of the GBTX. It also highlights tools made available to the designers and users, enabling them to create customized configurations. The paper shows how storing data for the full GBTX lifecycle is planned to ensure a good quality tracking of their devices.
