CANbus Driver Release Notes

Andrew Johnson

This document describes the changes which have been made to my vxWorks/EPICS CANbus driver as it has evolved since first release. The earliest version appears at the bottom, with more recent releases above it. These release notes first appeared in version 1.1b, but I have attempted to describe the differences in previous releases where I can remember or discover what they were by examining the source code. After version 1.1c the IPAC driver was split off as a separate package (although this is still required for use by the Tip810 driver), hence the IPAC related comments up to and including this release.


Version 2.2

Changed:

Version 2.1

Incorporated changes from Carl Lionberger that move the receive message callbacks into a fairly high priority task, rather than doing them in the ISR itself. This allows a higher peak message rate to be handled, although the average rate should be essentially unchanged.

Added:


Version 2.0

First version since I joined APS, now restructured in an EPICS R3.13.1 <supporttop> application. drvIpac module and carrier drivers were split off into a separate application directory.

Bug fixed:


Version 1.1c

Final release from the RGO. CVS repository transferred to APS.
