Driver installation for the Acromag PMC module

• Download the driver software from acromag (or ask Ingo)
• Go to pmcdx501/devdx501/ and #define KERNEL_DBG_OUTPUT for more help
• edit ../pmcdx501.h

#define PMCDXBOARD (word)0x424B
/* Pmcdx2002 device ID */
#define PMCDXARRAY "./utility/xc2v2002.h"
/* contains Pmcdx2002 data array See HFileGenerator.c */
#define DEVICE_NAME     "apmcdx2002"
/* the name of the device */

• define the same target in the Makefile
• make kernel module as root
• make the dev-node
• insmod apmcdx2002.ko
• Check /var/log/messages:

Feb 10 15:39:24 hadc09 kernel: try to fine PLX = 16d5 424b 0 
Feb 10 15:39:24 hadc09 kernel:

• the demonstration program is relly stupid: One can flash with factory xilinx configuration, not with a user file

Make the loader file

From the XILINX bit file, the mcs-loader file can be produced with this command:

/usr/local/Xilinx/bin/lin/promgen -w -p mcs -c FF -o /home/hadaq/acromag/design/DX2002test/ingo.mcs -u 0 /home/hadaq/acromag/design/DX2002test/XC2V2002.bit -s 1048576

prog_acromag

The location of the software is in vme/support.

Usage:

• prog_acromag direct filename.mcs
• prog_acromag read offset
• prog_acromag write offset value

values are in hex format

Later, the ctrl-programs should link the prog_acromag functions (same as xild and prog_sh)
