Hi all,
I am looking to setup a VME crate and processor to run EPICS and synApps to control a STXM and handle data acquisition. Specifically I anticipate using a Struck multichannel scaler card (SIS3820) for data acquisition and OMS MAXv card for stepper motor control.
vxWorks is not an option due to price. Since I will be maintaining the OS myself and I am no expert I am looking for the simplest OS to set up and maintain and ideally with existing support for the abovementioned cards. I am comortable building EPICS and synApps on linux but I have no experience setting up a VME.
From my research I found two options and I'm hoping to get some advice on which option might be best: - RTEMS. The RTEMS source builder seems straight forward to use but I'd appreciate if someone can recommend a processor, or advice on how to choose one?
- RT linux. I don't really know if this would work but I could use an Intel processor from acromag (link below) and install linux and run EPICS on it. Is there a VME bus driver and would it support the cards I mentioned above?
Thanks for your time! David
