Building the MDAT Frame Transmitter Front-End (MDAT8X) Glenn C. Johnson January 21, 2009 The code for the vxWorks, VME MDAT8X CPU is on nova in CVS. To rebuild it, perform the following steps: First, check out the body of code from CVS using standard CVS commands: % cvs co mdat % cd mdat Make sure you have the correct vxWorks 68K compilers configured. Note that this front-end uses vxWorks version 5.5. % env55_mv162 Compile and link the code: % make The result of the make is a file called mdat.o. In addition, the startup script file MDAT.startup is used to dynamically load the various modules at boot-time: mdat.o, acnet, libmooc, libssm, libip, and libiptrig. These two files (mdat.o and MDAT.startup) are copied to the MDAT boot area on fecode-bd: %make install Reboot the front-end cpu, and away you go!
