Silicon Graphics ICE-DSP Driver Installation Notes


Load the ICE software tree onto the system.  The environment symbol ICEROOT
should be defined pointing to root of this tree.  

** NOTE: The environment symbol XMAREA_ICE overrides ICEROOT for X-Midas users.

The driver source files are in the $ICEROOT/drv/sgi directory. 
To install the driver, follow these steps:
 
1. cd to the $ICEROOT/drv/sgi directory

2. To dynamically load the driver, type "make install".  This will 
lboot the driver into the kernel.

3. To rebuild /unix with the driver, type "make kernel" this will build a
/unix.install file, then reboot the system to load the driver, Once 
this is done, the driver will load automatically each time the system 
is booted.

Check out /var/adm/SYSLOG for driver print statements (or the console)

To exercise the cards, use the mid-level driver libraries in the ./lib area of
this software tree.  A small test program in the ./test area may be used to run
a series of tests on the card. An X-Midas macro and primitive are also 
available to run more diagnostic tests on each card.  See test/readme.txt.

X-Midas users should enter this name in the device name slot in the
hardware configuration table as shown in the examples below:  

  PIC1==ICEPIC,DEVNO=0,IOM=xxx, 
  PIC2==ICEPIC,DEVNO=1,IOM=xxx, 
  PIC3==ICEPIC,DEVNO=2,IOM=xxx, 
or
  PIC1==ICEPIC,PCI-DEV,/dev/icepic0,,,IOM=xxx, 
  PIC2==ICEPIC,PCI-DEV,/dev/icepic1,,,IOM=xxx, 
  PIC3==ICEPIC,PCI-DEV,/dev/icepic2,,,IOM=xxx,
