That should definitely work.

Please send:
- The complete output when you rebuild the IOC application.
- The complete output when the IOC boots
- The output of the iocsh "help" command after the IOC boots.

Hi Mark,
the base.dbd already there... however chanking the order the problem still remain...

PROD_IOC = mdrive_1IOC
# mdrive_1IOC.dbd will be created and installed DBD += mdrive_1IOC.dbd

# mdrive_1IOC.dbd will be made up from these files:
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += base.dbd

# Include dbd files from all support applications:
#mdrive_1IOC_DBD += xxx.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += asyn.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += drvAsynIPPort.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += stream-base.dbd

# Add all the support libraries needed by this IOC #mdrive_1IOC_LIBS += xxx mdrive_1IOC_LIBS += stream mdrive_1IOC_LIBS += asyn
