Overview
Traditionally the Fee in ALICE sub-detectors indicates when its buffers are full and cannot handle further triggers from the CTP. This is either done directly or through the FANIN module to the LTU with a busy signal.
Due to dense cabling, four of the ALICE sub-detectors (TPC, PHOS, FMD and EMCal), utilize a BusyBox to keep track of free buffers in their Fec. The BusyBox asserts the busy signal to the LTU when one or more of these conditions are true:
- Buffers in Fec are full
- Upon receiving a trigger sequence from TTC
- When the TTC sends a global reset to the Fee
The busy signal is de-asserted when one or more FEC buffers are freed
The BusyBoxes are located in the DAQ counting rom.
