Hi Michael,

Also I doubt, that the driver can be build for RTEMS because of these lines in drvIK342.c (looks more like VxWorks only):

Is there a way that I can compile these drivers for RTEMS-4.10.2?

So that driver was obviously written for VxWorks (and EPICS 3.13.8, so it’s old). However many years Eric Norum developed a document to help APS staff convert 3.13 VxWorks drivers to 3.14 using devLib, which you might find useful if you want to try that. I don’t know whether it will be helpful with Oleg’s IK342 driver, but it might. It has today’s date on it because I only just generated the PDF file, the latex document source actually dates from 2006.
