General info

This is a general DAQ/HLT-I release which is intended to be used for the ATLAS data taking starting from April 2009. It is compatible with LCG56 s/w and offline-15 releases branch. W.r.t. tdaq-02-00-00 it does not contain incompatible API changes, but rebuilding of all user code is required.

Supported platforms, compilers and compatibility

The production tags ofr this release are i686-slc4-gcc34-[opt,dbg], however for testing purposes new tags are available: i686-slc4-gcc43-opt and x86_64-slc4-gcc43-opt. Please note that the s/w is not validated for thess configurations.

i686 s/w runs on x86_84 architecture (provided that h/w is described in configuration DB with i686-slc4 tags). You can also run on SLC5 nodes, provided the compatibility gcc and stdc++ libraries are installed.

Release distribution

This release is distributed in RPM format, along with all required dependencies.

Development environment

Versions and paths of used external s/w are defined in TDAQExternal package.

Tools needed for development:

The default compiler is gcc-3.4.x on SLC4, no need to install it additionally.
To set up gcc 4.3 compiler from afs:
> source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/slc4_ia32_gcc43/setup.sh

CMT v1r20p20080222 (installed with RPM in <inst_root>/CMT/v1r20p20080222)
JDK 1.6.0 (installed with RPM in <inst_root>/sw/lcg/external/Java/JDK/1.6.0)

Important changes requiring user actions:

1) The OKS databases at P1 have to be imported to /oks/tdaq-02-00-01. This can be done by detector OKS DB experts using oks-import.sh script (recommended way) or by TDAQ experts on explicit detector request (CVS bulk import from /oks/tdaq-02-00-00).
