I've been working on building EPICS on a Debian 12 system with the
latest releases of mca (7-10) and base (7.0.8).
I'm hoping someone can help me please with mca ethernet connection
problem I'm having.
When I try to connect to a Canberra AIM 556 with nmcDemo I get this
response:
root@debian:/home/hank/epics# nmcDemo enp2s0 0x205
Using AIM-Module 205
Calling nmc_initialize ...
(nmc_initialize): waiting returned 1
Calling nmc_build_enet_addr ...
Calling nmc_findmod_by_addr ...
I get a similar result when using mcaAIM:
......
AIMConfig("AIM1/1", 0x205, 2, 512, 1, 1, "enp2s0")
(nmc_initialize): waiting returned 1
AIMConfig ERROR: cannot find module on the network!
.......
It may be helpful to add that mcaAmptekApp does work correctly and
communicates fine with an Amptek DP5.
As evidence that the AIM 556 is working, I have an older system running
Debian 9 and built with base-3.14.12.4 and mcaR7-6 that has no problems
with either nmcDemo or mcaAIM. (This computer has a different ethernet
interface name, enp3s0 vs enp2s0.)
