Installing the driver and support software

  1. Open a terminal and run these commands:
    1. cd drivers/pci-dask_410/util
    2. ./dask_conf
      • You'll need to select board #24
      • Give the card 256 pages size
    3. su -c 'nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst'
      • add mem=500M or mem=896M to any kernel line in there to reserve enough memory on a machine with either 512M or 1024M, respectively.
      • While here, remove the lines after (and including) the title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.4.21-4.EL). This will remove that option from the boot menu.
      • The using something higher than mem=896M seems to cause serious kernel faults on the test system
    4. cd ../drivers

Loading the driver

  • Note: If you've already installed one of the other Adlink cards requiring the PCI DASK drivers, there is no need to modify the /etc/rc.local file.
  • 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/9114/p9114ai
    2. ./p9114ai
  2. Run the tests for the 8554 card and see what the voltages look like
