Install the Adlink PCI-7396 DIO card

From SubfireWiki

Installing the driver and support software

1. Download the driver from http://www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_Driver.php?PDNo=25&id=3&sid=112&swKind=DR
   • You'll need to give them your email address.
   • Redhat 9.0 is the closest to RHEL3
   • Firefox will put it in hwtester's home
   • Create a 'downloaded_drivers' folder and a 'drivers' folder in hwtester's home
2. Extract the drivers to the drivers folder
3. Move the pci-dask410_Redhat9-0.tgz file to the downloaded_drivers folder
4. Open a terminal and run these commands:
   1. cd drivers/pci-dask_410/util
   2. ./dask_conf
      • You'll need to select board #17
   3. cd ../include
   4. sed 's/\(TRUE\|FALSE\)/ADLINK_\1/g' dask.h > dask-tweaked.h
      • This last step is necessary because dask.h redefines TRUE and FALSE, which are already defined by GTK.
   5. cd ../drivers

Loading the driver

• Manually loading the driver
  • Simply run su -c '/home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410/drivers/dask_inst.pl /home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410'
• To set up automatic loading:
  • Add "/home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410/drivers/dask_inst.pl /home/hwtester/drivers/pci-dask_410" to /etc/rc.local

Testing the card

1. Open a terminal and run the following commands
   1. cd drivers/pci-dask_410/samples/7396/7396dio/
   2. ./7396test
2. If all goes well, the red lights should be blinking
