Cymac RTS configuration |
|
|
We played around a bit with the cymac, in efforts to make things better.
- We disabled some more fancy-sounding options in the machine's BIOS
- I created safe.snap files for the x3iop and x3tst models
- x3iop's was created by booting the model while mashing the EPICS command to set the burt restore bit, and then saving the EPICS database to file via the SDF screen
- x3tst's was created by copying an existing .snap file
- I gave the controls user ownership of /frames via sudo chown controls:controls /frames
- I then created the following folders (which the daqd log was complaining about not finding_
- /frames/full
- /frames/trend/minute
- /frames/trend/minute_raw
- /frames/trend/second
- I also created the folder /opt/rtcds/tst/x3/target/fb, since that is listed in the daqd config as the nds job dir. (However nds does not seem to be running. Is it needed? I couldn't compile it in the rtbuild directory)
As I see it, the main problems that persist are:
- daqd crashes over and over again every few seconds
- The logs seem to be complaining about EPICS server problems. Is the related to whatever situation made the epics-env script neccessary?
- The IOP seems to be taking too much time: 8-9 usec
- This is especially problematic as Gabriele actually wants to run the IOP at an even faster rate than the current 64k, which isn't possible with the current timing
