I originally developed a non-EPICS VME-MXI-VXI driver for the MXI-2
interface on an MVME162 platform. When we needed the same driver
to work with EPICS on the MVME230x platform, I tried to compile the
VME-MXI-VXI driver which came with the EPICS release 3.13.1.1. I
encountered complications because that driver supports a wide range
of other interface hardware which I am not familiar with (e.g. NICPU030
and hpE1404). Besides, we need to have a new Fast Data Channel driver
to be incorporated into the EPICS VME-MXI-VXI driver for the MXI-2
in order to support our Tektronix TVS625/641 scopes. At that moment,
to get my job done, it was easier for me to convert the non-EPICS driver I
wrote originally into the EPICS/PowerPC platform.
By using the makefile released with EPICS, I do not recall any PowerPC
related change during my VME-MXI-VXI driver conversion in the source codes.
I did have one problem with the Tektronix TVS625/641 scope driver
on the memcpy. However, the scope is working fine now.
If you have the EPICS driver working specifically for the MXI-2 alreday, it
should be easy to convert it to the PPC platform. If you are interested
in my codes, I will be glad to E-mail it to you. Also, you can check
the agenda of the EPICS workshop to be held in the Oak Ridge Lab.. I
recall there were some realated topics.
Cheers,
Kate
