The Control System, which was completely developed in-house, has received some upgrades lately in order to get around issues from aging, to improve performance and to reduce maintenance costs. A new crate controller, which is based on Beaglebone Black single board computer, has been under tests and is a great candidate to substitute both Advantech single board computers and old CPUs. The current crate communication topology (through LOCO backplane) will be maintained and software is based on PROSAC, implemented for Advantech SBCs. Beaglebone platform, which is open hardware and community-supported, is also chosen to be a branch of Sirius Control System. An overview will be presented as well as first experimental and practical results.
