After 180 seconds it reboots and seems to connect fine

it seems a FEE somtimes enters a confusing state and stops sending data
the current merger requires all FEEs to be active and so this stops the entire system from proceeding.

On MIDAS the page reports the module is "undefined"

On the TTY console (PUTTY) it returns: do_GetState returned z=0 and 8

Resetting the DAQ in question via MIDAS works (Putty logs of the stages shown) and then the merger resumes without trouble.

Update on issue #48 - the "confusing state" is that the FEE has restarted and hence is undefined again.

An attached TTY log from the pi shows that the module is kernel panicking.
I have seen a couple of FEEs panic with the same error now.

(NB. The Day/time of the logs is wrong as the pi does not have the correct time - pis dont have a RTC or Internet access so the time isn't corrected)

Temperature of the modules is fine.

Aida is currently powered off (and I am away from GSI)

Cable will be replaced once a spare is available.

Setup did not restart the WR decoder when this problem occurred beforehand - Reset/Setup tried.

WR rate was chosen by Vic I believe, I am unsure of reasoning myself.

An update/clarification:
Although the upper bits are zero I believe actually it is a total failure to synchronise to WR:

3. Start MIDAS:
cd /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Linux-arm
./TclHttpd-server

13:30 We are going to do the pulser walkthrough for the the source tests.

We are wrapping the snout in some copper first to further establish a better connection with the ground.

2025Nov07-13.55.01 is a setting with 100 keV threshold across all FEEs.

We got the DAQ running, TEMPS ok and biased OK. We execute the pulser walkthrough as follow:

10x attenuation - 10V -> 1V in steps of 1 V

/lustre/despec/aida_sourcetest_2025/raw/

pulser_wt_10V - 10V

pulser_wt_9V - 9V

pulser_wt_8V - 8V

pulser_wt_7V - 7V

pulser wt_6V - 6V

pulser_wt_5V - 5V

pulser_wt_4V - 4V

pulser_wt_3V - 3V

pulser_wt_2V - 2V

pulser_wt_1V - 1V

Data taking stopped and we turn off the system to a safe state.

Initial analysis of the raw ADC spectra can be seen in attachment 4 & 5.

Pulser settings during April run:

Rate 2Hz
Delay 250 NS
Amplitude 1 V

Cannot find dhcpd (and therefore re-read config and restart) in System - Administration -> Services
- has the dhcpd service been re-named or amalgamated with another service?

Once dhcpd has been restarted it should be possible to power cycle all FEE64s, start system
and update firmware of newly installed FEE64s.
