Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

I have an IOC that uses asyn4-30 to communicate with an Hamamatsu C11204-02 chip. This is used for Silicon photomultipliers as power source.

My problem is that the code works perfectly under Linux on an x86_64 system but crashes with the following backtrace on an RaspberryPi .

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'm wondering why all the parameters paswsed to readFloat64 are NULL. The crash happens already during iocInit, when the first Parameter that has PINI set to YES is processed.

Any idea what could cause this crash?
