RE: Problem with drvAsynIPPortConfigure

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Dariush,

I think you have the order of your dbd files wrong.  They should be in this order:

mdrive_1IOC_DBD += asyn.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += drvAsynIPPort.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += stream-base.dbd

Is stream-base.dbd part of the StreamDevice module, or is that something local to your site?  The files you listed did not include base.dbd, which should come first.  So I think it should really be:

mdrive_1IOC_DBD += base.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += asyn.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += drvAsynIPPort.dbd
mdrive_1IOC_DBD += stream.dbd

Subject: Problem with drvAsynIPPortConfigure

hi Community,
I'm writing an IOC for industrial motor driver:
I prepare the IOC, in particular:
1) in the configure/RELASE there is
SUPPORT=$(EPICS_BASE)/synApps_6_3/support
ASYN=$(SUPPORT)/asyn-R4-44-2
STREAM=$(SUPPORT)/StreamDevice-2-8-24
EPICS_BASE = /home/xlabsrv2/epics

2) in the mdrive_1IOC/src/Makefile there is mdrive_1IOC_DBD += stream-base.dbd mdrive_1IOC_DBD += drvAsynIPPort.dbd mdrive_1IOC_DBD += asyn.dbd

mdrive_1IOC_LIBS += stream
mdrive_1IOC_LIBS += asyn

3) in the mdrive_1IOC/Db/Makefile there is DB += mdrive_1IOC.proto DB += mdrive_1IOC.db DB += mdrive_1IOC.val

4) in the mdrive_1IOC/Db/mdrive_1IOC.val there is file db/mdrive_1IOC.db {
     pattern { card, axis, ASYNPORT, MOT, EGU, homing, MRES, direct }
         { 1, 1 , "ip_x", "mdrive_x", mm, 1, 411, + } }

5) in the st.cmd there is
epicsEnvSet ("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", "${TOP}/db") epicsEnvSet ("PORT_mdrive_x", "ip_x")

drvAsynIPPortConfigure($(PORT_mdrive_x), "100.100.0.23:503")
asynOctetSetInputEos($(PORT_mdrive_x),0,"\n\r")
asynOctetSetOutputEos($(PORT_mdrive_x),0,"\n\r")

asynSetTraceMask($(PORT_mdrive_x),-1,0x9);
asynSetTraceIOMask($(PORT_mdrive_x),-1,0x2)


These are the configurations. After make (all is ok), executing the st.cmd I receive the following error

[xlabsrv2@xlabsrv2 iocmdrive_1IOC]$ ./st.cmd #!../../bin/linux-x86_64/mdrive_1IOC

searching in previous threads I found missing the "drvAsynIPPort.dbd" in src/Makefile, but I already put it. Moreover I use "make clean all", and (to be sure) in this case I also remove db, dbd, and lib folders to restart with a clean make

where ma I wrong?
thank you in advance!!!

Dariush

p.s.: all other IOCs using drvAsynIPPortConfigure working properly...
