Description
The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade will increase proton-proton collision rates by a factor of 5-7 times, requiring a complete redesign of the A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS) Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) readout electronics. The Tile Computer on Module (TileCoM) serves as the embedded control interface, responsible for remote programming, configuration, and real-time monitoring of distributed readout hardware over Gigabit Ethernet communication. Key challenges include migrating from legacy Community ENTerprise Operating System (CentOS) to AlmaLinux while preserving ATLAS compatibility and operational standards, minimizing communication latency under high-throughput conditions, and validating scalability from single-board prototypes to full production deployment.This work presents the design and implementation of TileCoM firmware and server software on AlmaLinux-based Zynq UltraScale+ platform. Systematic benchtesting and implementation of IPbus and OPC UA communication protocols to evaluate latency and throughput under realistic data-rate conditions for operation. Results establish performance baselines critical for ATLAS Phase-II commissioning and contribute reusable and standard methodologies for deterministic real-time control in large-scale scientific instrumentation.
