 18 May 2009, Exaos Lee, Suggestion, Question about using mvmestd.h
|
The "mvmestd.h" uses the following function to open a VME device:
[CODE]int mvme_open(MVME_INTERFACE **vme, int idx)[/CODE]
I found that the "driver/vme/sis3100/sis3100.c" uses the implementation as:

The definition of mvme_read_value is as the following:
[CODE]unsigned int EXPRT mvme_read_value(MVME_INTERFACE * vme, mvme_addr_t vme_addr);

Hi, all
I have some codes while using MIDAS. I upload them here. They are tested with

Hi, all again
I have some scripts in "bash" and "Python" to handle MIDAS sessions. Please see the attached [url=elog:613/1]utils4midas.zip[/url]. I didn't write instructions |

04 Aug 2009, Exaos Lee, Forum, About python interface
|
Coding in Python is faster than in C (but running slower). So, some python interfaces are useful for testing purpose. I hope you may like the PyMVME module
for VME bus testing. |

I always got a 503 server error while I tried to connect this log book the latest
weeks. I don't know why. I hope it is not due to the network censorship because
of the coming National Day of China. Anyway, good luck to me when I want to paste

I repeated the link error again. I also found the almost all sources located in "driver/camac/" using "cam_op()" but not "camop()". Please see the grep
result below:

31 Aug 2009, Exaos Lee, Forum, Why should we use "INLINE" here?
|
| There are many "INLINE" definitions in "include/*.h". Both GNU C and C99 permit using inline functions. I still wonder why. :-) |

03 Sep 2009, Exaos Lee, Bug Report, Prompt problem about odbedit
|
I tried to use odbedit to set the "/System/Prompt" to "%h:%e:%s %p> " and got a
problem: pressing "Return" doesn't work any more. But "[%h:%e:%s]%p> " works fine.
Please see the attachment. |

03 Sep 2009, Exaos Lee, Suggestion, Building MIDAS using CMake
|
I write some configure file to build MIDAS using CMake. The usage is simple:
1. Unzip the attachment, copy "CMakeLists.txt" and directory "cmake" into the
midas source tree.

03 Sep 2009, Exaos Lee, Suggestion, Some screenshot using CMake with MIDAS
|
I didn't add optimization flags to compile, so I got link error while generating mcnaf as I reported before.
The screen-shots show that the configure files works because I have modified the "driver/camac/camacrpc.c". |
