From: B. Gustafsson Date: 16/12/05 VLT-SW-JAN2006 - RELEASE NOTES FOR LCU COMMON SOFTWARE ====================================================== VxWorks: For Linux and SUN there is a new VxWorks version, 5.5. HP stays with VxWorks 5.4. On Linux there is only support for VxWorks 5.5 cross compiler, but no Tornado tools are available on Linux (like GDB, WindShell, WindView etc.). Drivers: aio: Corrected binary read function acro: Fixed bug in pulse bit function tim: Modified handling of UTC and PER_UTC count modes ampl: Corrected reading of backplane address canio: With this release, canlib is replaced with the ESD CANOpen manager and slave software package (canstack). A configuration file (canstack.xml) must be created, that describes the CAN network specific for the project. CANOpen nodes can be configured with or without configuration files (DCF files). Canstack is delivered in binary format for vxWorks 5.4. and 5.5., but NOT available for 68k CPUs. "CANIO" is now based upon CANSTACK. Please see VLT-MAN-ESO-17210-2806, revision 1.2. for a description of the new features.
