New support:
New display files:
Generic serial database no longer sets serial port parameters.
New documentation:
Changes made to ipApp since synApps_R3.13.1.1. The most important change is the addition of support for the Message Passing Facility, MPF.
Renamed Makefile.Vx.do_build to Makefile.Vx.buildHideos
Added Makefile.Vx.buildMPF
Makefile.Vx should be a soft link to one of the above two files. When building MPF this points to Makefile.Vx.buildMPF
Minor modifications to Makefile.Host.
Removed drvMM400 stuff, since this is now either in stdApp or wherever the motor stuff is ultimately put.
Added ipLIBOBJS, so when building the MPF version of ipApp it now works like stdApp and mcaApp, i.e. it copies all of the files in ipLIBOBJS to SHARE_BIN and it makes ipLib.
Added mpfServerLIBOBJS. This creates a library called mpfServLib which contains all of the MPF server code which need to be loaded onto an MPF server. The only exception is mpfLib, which must be loaded separately before mpfServLib.
Renamed ipShare.dbd to be ipShare.dbd.Hideos. (Actually I seem to have deleted this file, but it is just the version from synAppsR3.13.1.1)
Created ipShare.dbd.MPF
Created softlink ipShare.dbd which should be a soft link to one of the above two files. These files should ultimately be identical, but MPF device support is not yet available for all devices. When building MPF this points to ipShare.dbd.MPF
Most of these are simple conversions of the corresponding Hideos device support. The only exception is devAiMKSMPF.cc which is new device support for the HPS MKS vacuum gauge controller.
Note that the DTYP string defined for the MPF device support is the same as the old Hideos DTYPE, for example "Hideos lo stringParm" or "Hideos ai HeidND261". This was done to allow conversion to MPF without having to modify the databases at all. At some point it would be good to modify ipShare.dbd to give the DTYPs names which reflect the fact that they are for both MPF and Hideos, not just Hideos. This will require changing all of the databases as well.
