2.1.1.

The eXpressWare drivers (IRM etc) fails to load after it has been installed for the first time.

Please follow the procedure below to determine the cause of the problem.

  1. Verify that the adapter card has been recognized by the machine. This can be done as follows:

    If this command does not show any output similar to the example above, the adapter card has not been recognized. Please try to power-cycle the system according to FAQ Q: 1.1.1. If this does not solve the issue, a hardware failure is possible. Please contact Dolphin support in such a case.

  2. Check the kernel message log for relevant messages.

    		    # dmesg | grep PXH
    		    # dmesg | grep PVH
    		  
  3. If the driver still fails to load, please contact support and provide the driver's kernel log messages.

2.1.2.

Is the Network Manager and Node Manager used on VxWorks ?

No, these utilities are not supported and is not needed to run SISCI applications under VxWorks. The configuration and management of real-time systems are made static and manual to avoid running tasks that may disturb real-time applications.

2.1.3.

Can SISCI applications be implemented as RTPs?

No, RTPs are currently not supported.

2.1.4.

Is SuperSockets and the TCP/IP driver available on VxWorks ?

No, SuperSockets and the TCP/IP driver is currently only available with Linux and Windows, please contact Dolphin for more information.
