I have not tested KIT’s ethernet-based driver by myself so I do not know the details on firmware. One of my colleagues is trying that driver. I am forwarding your question to him.

Thanks Yong this should be helpful. Does it support specific firmware versions? We were using a custom driver but we found out that it was made for the older firmware E401, the spare parts we have we found out they are using the MRM (Modular register map) firmware (6 or 7 I think), so I wonder if the driver is handling firmware versions differences.

 

Best Regards,

Abdalla.

Hi Abdalla, I think this is what you are looking for: https://github.com/KIT-IBPT/epics-mrf

 

Good luck!

Yong

Hi

 

I came across this module https://github.com/epics-modules/mrfioc2 when searching for a driver for MRM-based timing system hardware. Looking at the source code it does not seem to work with Ethernet connected hardware, only VME. Our timing system hardware is inserted into a VME chassis but connected to the control system via the board’s Ethernet interface. Can this driver be configured to connect to Ethernet-connected hardware?

 

Thanks.

Abdalla.
