Panda Download

Packages on which Panda depends

Daslib

• download daslib.tgz; unpack and follow instructions in the file README

LFC-GM

• our extensions to GM. This is a tar file of a 1.5.2-based GM version with the "heralds" extension that we are using on DAS-2. Basically it allows you to do a blocking receive in a separate thread that is only woken up when the application isn't polling frequently enough in its other threads. For an example how this is used, see the way asynchronous interrupts are implemented in LFC-GM (below).
  Download gm-1_5_1_1_Linux-VU-heralds.tar.gz
  You need to configure and compile this GM against the kernel source tree you are using, e.g., with:
  ./configure --with-linux=/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.19 --enable-maintainer-mode
  The "--enable-maintainer-mode" forces a recompilation of the firmware, which isn't done by default. This means you will also need the gcc compiler tools for the LANai, which can be downloaded from the Myricom site.
• The compatibility layer LFC-GM which implements the LFC interface on top of GM.
  Download lfc-gm.tgz, unpack and follow instructions in the file README.
