asynDriver is a general purpose facility for interfacing device specific code to low level communication drivers.
A primary target for asynDriver is EPICS IOC device support but, other than using libCom, it is independent of EPICS.
If you're just starting out with VXI-11, read our Beginners Guide (PDF) for some starting tips.
Please email any comments and bug reports to Eric Norum who is responsible for coordinating development and releases.
EPICS base must be built first. After it is built and the tar file has been untared:
cd configure vi RELEASE Define the path for EPICS_BASE and optionally IPAC cd .. make
asynDriver provides a driver for the GreenSprings Industry Pack IP488 module and the octalUART. If this support is desired then IPAC support is required when building asynDriver. The configure/RELEASE file has a comment about how to include IPAC support.
StreamDevice, a generic EPICS device support driver for devices with a "byte stream" based communication interface, comes with an interface to asynDriver.
