 02 May 2005, Stefan Ritt, Info, strlcpy/strlcat moved into separate file
|
I had to move strlcpy & strlcat into a separate file "strlcpy.c". A header file
"strlcpy.h" was added as well. This way one can omit the old HAVE_STRLCPY which
made life hard. The windows and linux makefiles were adjusted accordingly, but

18 Aug 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, midas Makefile changes

Minor Makefile changes:
- add "-m32" gcc flag to force 32-bit compilation on 64-bit Linux.
- do not link ybos.o into lazylogger and mdump.

18 Aug 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, CAMAC register_cnaf_callback()
|
Some time ago, the "remote CAMAC" functionality in mfe.c was made conditional on
HAVE_CAMAC. This flag is not set by default so remote camac calls silently do
not work, unless midas is compiled in a special way. I am too lazy to compile

Minor changes to run transitions code:
- improve debug messages
- fail transition if cannot connect to one of the clients

For some time now, we have been thinking of updating the programming interface
for the VME bus interface drivers- mvmestd.h.

Good that you brought up the MIDAS VME API again, since this is still not complete, but
has to be completed soon.

19 Sep 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Added driver for the Wiener CC-USB CAMAC interface

Commited to CVS is the preliminary driver for the Wiener CC-USB CAMAC interface.
The driver implements all the mcstd.h camac access functions, except for those
not supported by hardware (8-bit operations, interrupts) and a few esoteric

Dear Midas users,
I have moved midas from CVS to Subversion today. There were many reasons for doing so, which I don't want to explain in detail here. To use the new repository, |

10 Oct 2005, Stefan Ritt, Info, Bus drivers moved in repository

The previous midas/drivers/bus dirctory contains both midas slow control bus drivers plus vme & fastbus & camac drivers. I separated them now in different
directories:

I manage to access some vme modules with the older vmicvme interface and seemed
confused with the
new interface as the sample code provided does not have a specific test sample.

02 Dec 2005, Greg Hackman, Info, MIDAS on Cygwin
|
If you want to run MIDAS on Cygwin, make sure you have cygserver running. First set a Windows system environment variable CYGWIN=server. This is best
done through the Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. Then run /usr/bin/cygserver-config in a Cygwin console window. Then reboot.
After that your MIDAS executables should run properly.

My TPC events are fairly large: 18 FEC cards * 128 channels per card * 2 Kbytes
per channel = about 4 Mbytes. In my
frontend, when I request this event size, MIDAS complaints (in mfe.c) that it is
