23. ICALPCS 2005 D.CharletSoftware All tools have been developed for both Windows and Linux   3 different software levels: PCI drivers: developed by the PLX Company, they enable the communication with the PLX9030 chip on the SPECS master board via the PCI bus SpecsLib library: computes the different frames for all types of mezzanine access (Parallel, I2C, JTAG,...), for write and read operations. SpecsUser library: decodes the frames into useful data values, manages the status for the PCI accesses, also handles the more complex accesses like JTAG, I2C, DMA, and communications with the on-board ADC (DCU).   All these components interfaced with the PVSS software

ICALPCS 2005 D.Charlet Remaining work and conclusion   Remaining work on Master 20 masters have been produced, tested and distributed to the SPECS users ~50 more will be provided for the commissioning.   Remaining work on Slave A rad-tolerant version is being developed based on the ACTEL PRO ASIC family (APA150) 30 slaves have been produced, tested and distributed to the SPECS users ~300 slaves (new version) will be provided for the commissioning.   Conclusion A 10Mbit/s serial field bus has been designed for LHCb experiment. Its aim is to be simple, cheap, reliable and to work safely in radiation sensitive environments. It is mainly used to download and read back the configuration of the electronics located on the detector. It is made of Master PCI boards and slave daughter boards, provides I2C, JTAG and parallel interfaces for the users, and is delivered with a software patch.
