I'm using drvIpac 1.7 on an MV167 with EPICS 3.13.4. Since I'm using
the GreenSpring IP-Octal card, extra memory needs to be allocated.
In the startup file, the command
ipacAddCarrier &vipc616,"0xC000,0xA00000,512"
is executed. If there's nothing but the IP-Octal on the crate, then
that works fine. But once many other modules are added to the crate,
then a memory access error stops the boot at this point. The problem
is that I don't know a rational method to choose the address
parameters. So far I've just used trial and error. Does anyone have
any guidance?
