Installing utilities
The utilities file is named:
specialix_riotools-<maj ver>-<min ver>.i386.rpm
For example;
specialix_riotools-4-1.i386.rpm
To install the utilities proceed as follows:
1. Copy this file to a temporary directory and install the utilities using the following
command:
rpm -i specialix_riotools-4-1.i386.rpm
The utilities are now installed in the
/usr/sbin
directory on your machine.
Note
The RIO configuration files are in the
/etc/rio
directory. A sample RIO configuration
file (
rio.cf.sample
) is installed in this directory for you to use as a template.
For details about the rio.c f file, see
Appendix B rio.cf administration file
.
The files
rta.bin
and
host.bin
should not be touched. These files contain the device
firmware for the host card and the RTA and are loaded into the driver when the
rioboot command is run.
