Installing the support software

  1. Kudzu will find this card and configure it
  2. Some additional setup is still required:
    1. Create a 'downloaded_drivers' folder and a 'drivers' folder in hwtester's home
    2. Open the drivers folder
    3. Insert the Sealevel driver CD
    4. Browse to /mnt/cdrom/Software/SeaCOM/Other/Linux
    5. Double click on pci_inst.tar.gz
    6. Drag pci_inst to the drivers folder
    7. Drag pci_inst.tar.gz to the downloaded_drivers folder

Setting up the card

  • To manually load the driver, open a terminal and run these commands
    1. $ cd drivers/pci_inst/
    2. [hwtester@csi-lear-1 pci_inst]$ su -c './setserial_pci.pl 4'
  • To automatically load the driver, modify /etc/rc.local
    1. Add "/home/hwtester/drivers/pci_inst/setserial_pci.pl 4" somewhere before the last line

Testing the card

  • Run the serial_test program in csiproject/src
    • This can only be done after our software has been installed.
