Working with the Readout DAL

First prepare a work area based on fddaq-v4.1.1 and checkout this package and the gcrone/noreadout branch of DUNE-DAQ/coredal.

> . /cvmfs/dunedaq.opensciencegrid.org/setup_dunedaq.sh
> setup_dbt latest
> dbt-create -c fddaq-v4.1.1 fddaq-v4.1.1
> cd fddaq-v4.1.1/sourcecode/
> git clone git@github.com:gcrone/readoutdal.git
> git clone -b gcrone/noreadout git@github.com:DUNE-DAQ/coredal.git
> cd ..
> . env.sh 
...

You should now be able to build the dal libraries with the usual dbt-build command.

Editing the readout schema

You can now edit the schema files with your favourite text editor. To use the Qt based schemaeditor you should use spack to load the dbe package.

> spack load dbe

And edit the schema with

> schemaeditor -f sourcecode/readoutdal/schema/readoutdal/readout.schema.xml
