2. Using CLI
2.1 Pre-action
Before using CLI, make sure the controller(s) has been connected to the host and the driver(s)
of the controller(s) has been installed on the OS properly.
Under Linux, you may need to execute the following command to let CLI find the controller
normally: mknod /dev/ACS_CDEVi c NUM i
where number NUM is determined by referencing the Character devices listed in
/proc/devices in which the string ACS_CDEV is located. The number i should be 0
when only one controller is found. If other controllers are found, use 1, 2.. for i
to make node of each controller one by one.
Anyway, the necessity of this procedure depends on how the driver is installed.
Example for Linux special case:
1. Type: insmod acs_ame.ko [Enter] under the folder where the driver “acs_ame.ko” is located.
2. Type: cat /proc/devices [Enter], a list of Character devices will appear, in which the device
number of ACS_CDEV is 253(The value alters through different systems.)
