2.1.3.2 Software Installation
The distribution CD included with the ADS package contains the “mdsp” SBus device
driver for the ADS as well as the ADSxxx user interface program for the ADS. The
following steps will allow you to install the device driver and run the user interface.
Note:
In the instructions that follow, ADSxxx represents the name of your particular
system, such as ADS56000, etc.
1. Copy all of the software from the distribution CD onto your system using
uncompress and tar. See the “readme” file for details
2. Install the driver with the following commands:
hostname# cd adsxxx/driver
hostname# make install
3. After a successful installation, you should see a module status message indicating
that your module was successfully loaded and giving its ID. To see this status at
any time, issue the “modinfo” command on SOLARIS, “modstat” for SunOS.
4. If the ADSxxx driver module was loaded properly, you should be ready to run the
ADSxxx user interface:
hostname# cd ../bin
hostname# adsxxx
If for any reason you wish to uninstall the driver, use the following commands:
hostname# cd adsxxx/driver
hostname# make unload (SunOS 4.x)
hostname# make uninstall
(SOLARIS 2.x)
2.1.4 HP7xx to Command Converter Interface
The Motorola HP7xx Interface uses the same ISA card installed in the PC-workstation. It
is controlled by an HPUX device driver. The HP7xx computer must have an ISA slot
available for plugging in this card. Older versions of the HP700 series computer did not
have ISA expansion slots. The ISA board provides a parallel communication path between
the HP workstation and a Motorola DSP development system. For details on jumper
