Building the Entire System

A multi-stage make is required to build the .munch files for the IOCs. Munch files are raw binary executable for the MVME5500's VxWorks operating system generated by a cross compiler. The cross compiler resides on machine con6, a Sun Solaris machine. This machine has no internal hard disk, it connects to the network file server. This means files can be copied willy-nilly but that doesn't mean they should be. Yes, physicists, I speak to you. DO NOT TOUCH /dk/fs2/dgs/global_sanbox EVER. NO, NEVER!!

Compiling the Code used in the VME IOCs

1. ssh -XY dgs@con6
2. cd /global/devel/dgsDrivers/dgsDriverApp/src
3. ./Export_SVN_ParameterFiles.sh
4. cd ../..
5. make clean
6. make
   1. There should be ZERO errors and ZERO warnings. Anything else is a fatal, full, stop.
7. cd ../dgsIoc
8. make clean
9. make
   1. There should be ZERO errors and ZERO warnings. Anything else is a fatal, full, stop.
10. Log out of con6
11. Log into dgs1 as dgs
12. cd /global/ioc/bin/vxWorks-ppc604_long
13. ./CopyNewMunch.sh

Ensuring EPICS databases are up to date

1. ssh -XY dgs@dgs1
2. cd /global/ioc/db
3. ./Export_SVN_Databases.sh
4. You will have to reboot all the VME IOCs to load the new databases.
5. You will have to stop and restart the Soft IOC to load the new databases.
