Re: Re: Re: Re: RTEMS 5 Cannot Read Event Generator

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

It's helpful. Thanks for your help!

After changing 
EgEnableMuxSeq (pEg, menuSeqRam1, menuNO);  /* Disable Mux triggering of sequence ...
EgEnableMuxSeq (pEg, menuSeqRam2, menuNO);  /* Disable Mux triggering of sequence ...

to
 
EgEnableMuxSeq (pCard, menuSeqRam1, menuNO);  /* Disable Mux triggering of ... 
EgEnableMuxSeq (pCard, menuSeqRam2, menuNO);  /* Disable Mux triggering of ...

in mrfApp/src/drvMrfEg.c, RTEMS 5 can read EVG. And I can observe through the oscilloscope that the output signal of the EVG is normal. It seems that the EVG works well.

But, when I run EVG and EVR at same time in one crate, RTEMS crashes after iocshell starts, and I do not anything else.

Do you have any advices?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help.
