	FLUTE, a new linac-based test facility and THz source is currently being built at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in collaboration with DESY and PSI. It consists of an RF photo gun and a traveling wave linac accelerating electrons to beam energies of ~41 MeV in the charge range from a few pC up to 3 nC. The electron bunch will then be compressed in a magnetic chicane in the range of 1 - 300 fs, depending on the charge, in order to generate coherent THz radiation with high peak power. An overview of the simulation and hardware status is given in this contribution.

	The European x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) is based on a 17.5 GeV super conducting pulsed linac and is scheduled to deliver its first beam in 2016. The first component of its accelerator chain, the RF gun, was installed in fall of 2013 and its commissioning is underway. This contribution gives an update on the low level radio frequency (LLRF) system development and installation for the XFEL. In particular, the installation, performance and conditioning results of the RF gun are presented. The subsequent steps toward LLRF components mass-production, testing and installation for the XFEL linac are also explained.

	In the first half of the year 2014, the MTCA.4 based LLRF control system will be installed at several facilities (FLASH RF Gun, REGAE, PITZ, FLUTE/KIT). First tests during the last year show promising results in optimizing the system for high speed digital llrf feedbacks (reducing system latency, increase internal controller processing speed). In this contribution we will present further improvements in latency and performance optimization of the system, results and gained experience from the commisioning of the system at the metioned facilities.

	The Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is the first linac which is equipped with a MTCA.4 based low level RF control system. Precise regulation of RF fields is essential for stable and and reproducible photon generation. Flash benefits from the performance increase using the new developments like, accurate and precise field detection devices. Further enourmous increase of processing capabilities allow for more sophisticated controller applications which better the overall performance of the regulation.

	In order to increase system compactness, mitigate cabling problems, increase rack space, minimize points of failure in the system and reduce digital distortion leakage into the sensitive analog signals, the concept of the RF backplane located in the rear section of the MTCA.4 crate has been introduced. Besides signal distribution, the concept includes a signal generation module and backplane management module. The generation and splitting of the analog signals is taking place in slots 15 and 14 on the rear side in theμLO generation module (uLOG). This module generates the local oscillator signal, the clocks and feeds through the master reference signal over the RF backplane to the slots. In this paper we present the recent results of such system.
