Introduction

• Linux/PCI BL control project
• Transition from VME to PCI
• Must support current VME instrumentation
• Gradual introduction of new hardware
• SPEC as the main control application
• To be installed on ID31 (June 2002 operational)

8
Software development

• VME board drivers (ready)
• VPAP, VCT6, CC133, ICV150, ICV196, ICV712
• New features
• Crate Off/On and board missing conditions
  detection
• Board status/use available to users in /proc fs
• General hook service support VME and PCI
• VPAP channels can be read in the hook
• CC133 can interrupt when index found without
  reseting counter
• ICV196 increased flexibility

9
Software development

• PCI board drivers
• Bit3, NI-7433 (closed), RocketPort 32 (Serial
  Lines)
• Automatic detection of PCI board positioning,
  ensure same logical IDs when boards are
  added/removed/moved (PCIEnum)
• Device servers
• MaxeVpap functional, CC133 being added
• MaxeFlex functional, encoder being added
• Vct6 in porting phase
• Serial lines functional
• Vacuum in porting phase

10
To be done

• Low level
• PCIEnum configuration tools
• Hook with Flexmotion
• GPIB and CCD PCI support
• Device servers
• IcvAdc, IcvDac, Relay, Scan
• Test TACO/TANGO
• Application level
• Graphic BL control applications (?)
• Intensive tests of SPEC device servers
