  1. # Software for RPi compatible shield for TDC-GPX2 chip
  2. The TDC-GPX2 is a time-to-digital converter from ScioSense with up to 10ps timing accuracy. This software uses the linux kernel for GPIO and SPI-Bus to readout the GPX2 and calculate time intervals between signals. There is also the possibility of reading out the TDC using a FPGA which will then give much faster readout.

  4. Files for building readout software for the TDC-GPX2 from ScioSense.
  5. | Folder | Description |
  6. | ------ | ----------- |
  7. | source/gpx2-raspi-readout-program| Contains a readout loop, buffer and calculations to measure time intervals between two signals with good accuracy.
  8. | source/spi | Folder containing gpx2 source files for making the tdc board library containing all options and an high level access for readout.
  9. | source/gpx2-fpga | tba |

  11. <strong>Readout via SPI:</strong>
  12. Required:
  13. - linux operating system (preferrably raspberry pi OS)
  14. - up-to-date c++ compiler (C++17 compatible), tested with clang 11 and newer
  15. How to build:
  16. - This software packages is build with cmake
  17. - builds the gpx2 library and optionally the readout program
