START: slot 1: NEW XENO MIRC slot 2: DATA 2TB


turn on computer

login observe@mirkwood t00l0ng

(lsmod to check modules)

../ep41/MIRC/RTScheduler (as root, make install as ep41 will install in /usr/local/bin probably)


another window: ssh root@mirkwood su -l spooler ../ep41/MIRC/spooler


everything else is same. first file sometimes fails, maybe only because of file checks.




Left to do:

spooler

misc header problems in spooler (date/time) doesn't get server information (?) convert pipe to socket spin off the header collecting proccesses into a single thread and communicate between them. 

 ~ep41/ipc  has example code for interprocess communcation

RTScheduler

need to use ioctl for continuous readout mode in the upgrade to new dsp code. 

--> realtime ioctl


CHAMP implementation

~epedrett on newCHAMP national example code. (analogy or something like that). test program is in email on xenomai mailing list to epedrett@gmail.com. 

-> need to test ioctl or try realtime ioctl.


We still need detailed installation notes. see wiki
