5.3 Power PMAC Module Installation
Assuming the required software described above has been installed, unpack the Power
PMAC EPICS module archive file and cd into the top directory.
gunzip powerPMAC_V1-0.tar.gz
tar -xvf powerPMAC_V1-0.tar
cd powerPMAC_V1-0
In here you will see the following files and directories:
This directory contains the driver and device support code, a
template database for control and EDM and BOY screen files.
This directory contains a test application. A substitutions file
sets up a system configured for a Power PMAC with eight
axes.
The configuration directory.
The boot directory for the test application. It contains the
startup script that defines the IP address of the Power PMAC
as well as the username and password. It also sets up the
motor record code (see below).
Top-level Make file to build all the software
This is a bash script to start the EDM application and open the
main EDM screen.
This file contains the save/restore file that could be used for
the motor records. This file is not required for the test
application as it does not depend on or use the EPICS save/
restore module.
Before building the application it is necessary to define the installation locations of
the EPICS installation, asyn and motor modules, and a link to the libssh2 library. cd
into the configure directory and edit the RELEASE file. Update the lines that define
the location of the asyn and motor installations to point to wherever these modules are
installed on your system. For example
ASYN=/usr/lib/epics/asyn-4.18
MOTOR=/usr/lib/epics/motorR6-7-1
