Linux EPICS IOC SupportIndustry Pack and Stepper MotorStatus ReportEPICS Meeting at IHEP August 2002 Marty Kraimer Overview First presented at EPICS meeting at BESSY in May 2002 Describes work in progress to support Linux PC IOCs First Target Applications: Synchrotron Beam line Applications Working with Tim Mooneys group at APS Some APS/ASD (Accelerator) Applications Example: Monitoring Conventional Facility data First Hardware Support OMS PCI Motor support (Joe Sullivan from Tim Mooneys group) PCI Industry Pack Carrier Serial, gpib, adc, dac, digital I/O. VISION LINUX REPLACES VXWORKS BUT: Linux isn’t a real time operating system Non-pre-emptive kernel = no context switch while kernel active. Interrupts can be disabled for long periods of time. Worst case can be 100s milliseconds. (2.4 Kernel) Future Development kernel is pre-emptive. Work in progress so that interrupts disabled for short times. Other possibilities RTLinux RTAI RTEMS Modified VISION Existing Linux good enough for some Applications. 2.6 Kernel will be good enough for more Applications. If small part of Application needs strict real time. Use RTLinux/RTAI. For demanding Apps use RTEMS or stay with vxWorks. RTEMS Open Source Tests show real time performance equivalent to vxWorks Not as complete an environment as vxWorks Well supported by R3.14 Eric Norum and Till Straumann are very interested in it. See EPICS 3.14 home page and Tills talk at BESSY EPICS meeting. Initial Goals Industry Pack Support on Linux IOCs Standard PC platforms original goal In the future CompactPCI Other platforms, eg. VME Work with Tim Mooney’s group (synApps) Joe Sullivan working on PCI based motor support. IP + Motor = usable for some beam line applications. Expect there will be a lot of interest. Requires Message Passing Facility (MPF) When IP+Motor support ready some synApps can be done.
