EVR Module / Hamamatsu Module Setup for Servers

 This web page gives information on how to install the EVR in our servers

and to install the Hamamatsu drivers

*Make sure the followng kernels are installed: (uname -r)

• kernel-debug-2.6.18-371.8.1.el5
• kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-371.8.1.el5  *****

Need the /usr/src/kernel area to build module:

• [lcls-devcam03]: /u/cd/brobeck:$ ls /usr/src/kernels/
  • 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5-debug-i686/
  • 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5PAE-i686@
  • 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5-PAE-i686/     *************
  • 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5-i686/
  • 2.6.18-371.8.1.el5debug-i686@

   

  Possible error Due to missing Kernel files :# make modules_install make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-371.8.1.el5PAE/build M=/afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/lcls/vol9/package/linuxKernel_Modules/pci_mrfevr_linux/MAIN_TRUNK modules_install make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-371.8.1.el5PAE/build: No such file or directory.  Stop. make: *** [modules_install] Error 2

  
  

1. Login to the server as root and go to the directory which contains the module. This area will contain all the code to build and deploy the module
   1. cd /usr/local/lcls/package/linuxKernel_Modules/pci_mrfevr_linux/MAIN_TRUNK/   (This is subject to change)
   2. Type: make modules_install
   3. /sbin/depmod -a
   4. /sbin/modprobe pci_mrfevr
2. Verify module is loaded
1. lsmod | grep pci
3. Create startup file
   1. Copy a file from other camera server or from /usr/local/admin/Startup-files (This is subject to change)
      1. Create the init.d and rc3.d file
         1. S97st.pci_module_load -> /etc/init.d/st.pci_module_load (Our SIOC's run at S98)
            

1. Please, make local copy of vendor's installation file. The file is located at

                  /afs/slac/g/lcls/epics/iocTop/users/khkim/EDTpdv/EDTpdv_lnx_5.4.5.1.run

2. Get sudo permission

3. Make executable for the file

                  chmod +x EDTpdv_lnx_5.4.5.1.run

4. Execute0

                  ./EDTpdv_lnx_5.4.5.1.run

5. If everything is OK, you can see the kernel module objects and source code at the following location.

                  /opt/EDTpdv

We  can also verify with the followings.

[flaci@facet-b244-cs04 EDTpdv]$ /sbin/lsmod | grep edt

edt                   180376  0

[flaci@facet-b244-cs04 EDTpdv]$ dmesg

Edt:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root         11 Dec  3 11:17 pdv0_2 -> /dev/edt0_2

6. The start up script for the EDT kernel module is located at the following.

                  /etc/init.d/edtinit

You can make a symbolic link of the file at /etc/rc3.d
