SocExplorer ----------- SocExplorer is an open source generic System On Chip testing software/framework. We write this software for the development and the validation of our instrument, the Low Frequency Receiver(LFR) for the Solar Orbiter mission. This instrument is based on an actel FPGA hosting a LEON3FT processor and some peripherals. To make it more collaborative, we use a plugin based system, the main executable is SocExplorer then all the functionality are provided by plugins. Like this everybody can provide his set of plugins to handle a new SOC or just a new peripheral. SocExplorer uses PythonQt to allow user to automate some tasks such as loading some plugins, configuring them and talking with his device.

Wiki ---- More details here https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/redmine/projects/socexplorer/wiki How to build ------------ To build it on linux you can look here https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/redmine/projects/socexplorer/wiki/Linux_setup If you can't access to it, first you will need a working qt5 kit with all the development packages. Step 1: You need to get a modified version of PythonQt, you can clone it from our repository ```bash hg clone https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/rhodecode/HG_REPOSITORIES/LPP/INSTRUMENTATION/USERS/JEANDET/PythonQt PythonQt cd PythonQt qmake-qt5 make sudo make install ``` Step 2: Get and install SocExplorer ```bash hg clone https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/rhodecode/HG_REPOSITORIES/LPP/INSTRUMENTATION/SocExplorer SocExplorer cd SocExplorer qmake-qt5 make sudo make install mkdir -p ~/.SocExplorer/config cp ressources/Grlib.xml ~/.SocExplorer/config/Grlib.xml ``` Step 3: Get and install SocExplorer main plugins ```bash hg clone https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/rhodecode/HG_REPOSITORIES/LPP/INSTRUMENTATION/SocExplorerPlugins SocExplorerPlugins qmake-qt5 make make install # /!\ As regular user! ``` Bug repports ------------ To repport any bug you can either send a mail at alexis.jeandet@member.fsf.org or repport an issue here https://hephaistos.lpp.polytechnique.fr/redmine/projects/socexplorer/issues
