EPICS Base Release 3.13.x

All development on the R3.13.x series has been closed for many years, and the VxWorks RTOS that its IOC runs on has not been supported for a long time either (it also requires an obsolete Solaris version to cross-compile the IOC on). EPICS sites should have upgraded any systems that use this series to the R3.14.x series.

Software Required

EPICS R3.13 requires that a site have installed the vxWorks RTOS from Wind River, which is sold as part of their Tornado development environment. Early versions of EPICS R3.13 require Tornado 1.0.1 (vxWorks 5.3.1). A patch is available for EPICS R3.13.2 to allow it to also be used with the newer Tornado Version 2.0. EPICS R3.13.3, R3.13.4, and R3.13.5 can be used with either Tornado 1.0.1 (vxWorks 5.3.1) or Tornado 2.0 (vxWorks 5.4).

See the Tornado page for some hints and tips from other EPICS users.

Also required are GNU make 3.76.1 or later, Perl 5.005_01, and gcc 2.8.1 or a recent version of the native C and C++ compilers for your host platform.
