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,
