Example Program
#include "dsc2.h"
int main(){
vmeOpenDefaultWindows(); /* Map the VME bus memory (For Linux only.). */
dsc2Init(0xe00000,0,1); /* Base memory: Only last 2 HW switches are relevant,
the rest are lost due to shift of address. */
/* Memory size per board. */
/* Number of boards. */
dsc2Status(0,0); /* Board number and flag which is not used. */
dsc2PrintScalers(0,0xff);/* Board number and printing option */
return(0);
}
Linux VME support
Brian Moffit from CODA group has setup a directory for software for Intel based VME controllers running Linux. README there is a good introduction to the subject.
/site/coda/2.6.1/extensions/linuxvme
RPMs for VME controllers running Linux located in the directory
/site/coda/2.6.1/extensions/linuxvme/RPMS
Available files are:
gefvme-kmod-common-4.1-0.i386.rpm (Development files) kmod-gefvme-PAE*.rpm (Kernel module)
To install the development RPM without kernel module will require the --nodeps option
rpm -i --nodeps gefvme-kmod-common-4.1-0.i386.rpm
Scalers readout preliminary driver
The current scheme of data flow is the followong.
| VME bus | - | dsc2.c mutex-ed access to the hardware |
| JLabDiscr.c::JLabDiscrReadTask() a thread to poll scalers every second |
