Abstract
| The Embedded Monitoring Processor (EMP) is a versatile platform designed for High Luminosity LHC experiments, addressing the communication, processing, and monitoring needs of diverse applications in the ATLAS experiment, with a focus on supporting front-ends based on lpGBT (low power Giga-Bit Transceiver). Built around a commercial SoM, the EMP architecture emphasizes modularity, flexibility and the usage of standard interfaces, aiming to cover a wide range of applications and facilitating detector integrators to design and implement their specific solutions. The EMP software and firmware architecture comprises epos, the EMP operating system, quasar OPC UA servers, dedicated firmware IP cores and an ecosystem of different software libraries. This abstract outlines the software and firmware aspects of the EMP, detailing its integration with lpGBT optical interfaces, programmable logic development, and the role of the LpGbtSw library as a Hardware Abstraction Library for the LpGbt OPC UA server. |
