Chapter 3 Software Installation

NOTE: at this point you should read the file README included in the directory

pc400-<version>

to learn about any changes implemented since this manual was produced.

sh install

(to run the install script)

This script will detect the system information (kernel version, current Cyclades-PC400 driver version, etc.) and
install the proper driver package files. A default configuration file will be placed in /etc/cyclades/pc400/
pc400.cfg and is used when /usr/local/sbin/pc400util -p is executed.The following utilities are compiled and
installed :

/usr/local/sbin/pc400util
/usr/local/sbin/pc400load
/usr/local/sbin/pc400dump
/usr/local/sbin/pc400hwtest
/usr/local/sbin/pc400syslog

And the firmware is installed in

/usr/local/lib/pc400.bin

If an older version of the PC400 driver already exists, the files pc400.c and pc400.h are backed up with
modified names in the same directory. If a newer version is already installed, the files will not be updated with
those of the older driver.

Configure the kernel by executing “

make config

” or “

make menuconfig

”:

Please note the following before beginning the kernel configuration. The only difference between
selecting ‘Y’ , ‘

’ or ‘M’ is the following: ‘Y’ or ‘

’ causes the driver to be compiled as part of the

kernel and is activated every time the computer is booted; ‘M’ creates the driver as a module, which
can be loaded or unloaded with a command without the need to reboot the computer.
