ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide
NOTE: To read from a DOS formatted floppy, a kernel with support for
the FAT file system (either statically linked in the kernel or as modules)
is required.
Steps for copying the driver from a floppy:
1. Linux floppy disks are in ext2 format.
2. Insert Linux driver in drive A: and mount floppy drive.
>
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
3. Copy files from floppy to a temporary directory on hard drive.
>
mkdir /isi
>
cd /isi
>
cp /mnt/floppy/kernel_2.2.x/* /isi
After you have copied the installation tar file to a folder, use the
command '
tar xvf isilinux.tar
' to untar (unzip or de-
compress) the installation files in that folder.
LINUX: Driver installation and loading
Execute the 'Install' script to build the driver and to copy the driver and
firmware files to the required folder.
>
cd /isi
> .
/Install
For ISI cards with the ISA bus, the installation script requires the user
to type in the I/O address and the IRQ to be used. However, for ISI
cards with the PCI bus (ISI5634PCI cards have the PCI bus), simply
press ENTER when asked for addresses and IRQs. The installation
creates the script file 'ISICOMStart' in the destination folder.
'ISICOMStart' automates the loading process for the driver and
firmware.
To view busy I/O address space on your system, enter
