VME cpu bbvme1 presently on bbps1 2002
+
 
+
FADC library for VME
+
/adaqfs/halla/adev/fadc/v1.2
+
 
+
crl is /adaqfs/home/adev/fadc/v1.2/fadc_list.crl
+
 
+
Decoding of FADC
+
/adaqfs/halla/adev/fadc/ComptonAnalyzer
+
 
+
Attempts to make CODA 2.6 work on adev
+
 
+
1. Adjusted .tcshrc, adding things at top (comments there).
+
 
+
2. Create coda26 directory.  Put $COOL_HOME there.
+
 
+
3. Minor problems.  Had to start msqld by hand (/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S82msqld_s on adaql2).  Had to run cedit or dbedit on adaql1, not adaq1, b/c on adaq1 it complains cedit: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3:  (adaq1 has libXm.so.4)
+
 
+
4. Minor problems (part II).  Needed links on adaq1, else CRLs don't compile. in /usr/local: ln -s /adaqfs/coda/vxworks-linux gcc-vxworks and ln -s /adaqfs/halla/apar/vxworks/5.5/gnu_vxworks gnu-ppc
+
 
+
5. Minor problems (part III).  Can't run rcgui on adaq1 b/c missing libXtst.so.6.  I guess it's looking in the wrong place since it's here: /usr/lib64/libXtst.so.6.  Punt on adaq1.  Use adaql1 (with the "l") for now.
+
 
+
6. startcoda on adev was a link to startcoda_2.5.  Change this to startcoda_2.6
+
 
+
7. Bootscript on bbvme1 changed from
+
/adaqfs/home/adev/bbite/vxworks/bbvme1_coda25.boot to /adaqfs/home/adev/vxworks/bbvme1_coda26.boot
+
 
+
8. Adjusted hardware address of TIR and FADC in CRL.
+
 
+
9. Started all the DAQ components "by hand" (startcoda not working yet).  A working config is $SESSION=Compton, Configuration = Compton2.  A seemingly ok data file is /adaql1/data4/AComp_1012.dat.0
+

to be continued ....
