Installing CODA

download CODA 2.5

Go to the ftp web page

ftp://ftp.jlab.org/pub/coda/2.5/

and save the files below into the CODA/2.5 subdirectory

I currently have the files

2.5 >ls -1

cdev_1.7.5.tar.gz
CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1.tar.gz
coda.setup
codausersetup
common.tar
Linux-rhe.tar
README.InstallFAQ
README.x86-linux
VXWORKSPPC55.tar
x86-linux.tar

Unpack the tar files

tar -zxvf cdev_1.7.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1.tar.gz
tar -xvf Linux-rhe.tar
tar -xvf VXWORKSPPC55.tar
tar -xvf x86-linux.tar

remove the tar archives

rm *.gz
rm *.tar

Here is what my directory structure looks like now

2.5 >ls -1
cdev_1.7.5
CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1
coda.setup
codausersetup
Linux
README.InstallFAQ
README.x86-linux
VXWORKSPPC55
x86-linux

Setup the environment variables

cp coda.setup .setup
chmod +x .setup

create coda subdirectory

mkdir CODA/2.5

I already created the CODA subdirectory when I installed the VxWorks kernel and bootscripts

cd CODA/2.5

scp the CODA binary version

scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/coda/2.5/Linux-rhe ./

A bin and lib subdirectory are created

also copy over the common, examples, and extensions subdirectories

scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/coda/2.5/commons ./
scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/coda/2.5/examples ./
scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/coda/2.5/extensions ./

The extensions subdirectory has a lot of libraries for several VME modules.

scp the CMLOG files

scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/coda/CMLOG ./

download the gnu cross compiler

scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/vxworks/5.5/ppc/host/x86-linux ./

also need the header files

scp -r tforest@jlab.org:/site/vxworks/5.5/ppc/target/h ./

My directory structure looked like this

2.5 >ls -1 cdev_1.7.5 CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1 common Linux-rhe VXWORKSPPC55 x86-linux

2.) as root create the following sudirectory and soft links

mkdir /usr/local/coda chmod a+rw /usr/local/coda

ln -s /home/daq/CODA/2.5 /usr/local/coda/2.5 ln -s /home/daq/CODA/2.5/CMLOG-R2_1-PROD-1 /usr/local/CMLOG ln -s /home/daq/CODA/2.5/x86-linux /usr/local/gnu/x86-linux

3.) set the environmental variables

create a script to setup the environmenal variables

1. !/bin/csh

echo Setting up coda 2.5 on $HOST setenv CODA /usr/local/coda

source $CODA/coda.setup

1. Point to msqld on my host

setenv MSQL_TCP_HOST daq1 setenv MSQL_HOME /usr/local/coda/common/rcdb

1. My database/session

setenv EXPID ISU_LDS setenv SESSION DAQ

1. CMLOG browser (cmlog) setup file

setenv CMLOG_CONFIG /home/data1/CODA/cmlogrc

1. broadcast message port must match that in /usr/local/CMLOG/cmlog.config

setenv CMLOG_PORT 8102

1. User specific env variables

setenv CODA_DIRECTORY /home/daq/CODA setenv CODA_DATA /data1

1. set up to use Cross compilers

set path = ( $path . /usr/local/gnu/x86-linux/bin ${CODA}/2.5/Linux-rhe/bin )

4.) setup msql

startup msql deamon

msqld

and let in run

in another window startup cedit

create a new database using the "File" men

I gave it the name "LDS"

I quite cedit and restarted to check that it was stil there.

now add components:

to get DBEDIT to run I had to add the following to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

${CODA}/cdev_1.7.5/lib/Linux-rh9

so now I have

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/CMLOG/lib/Linux:${CODA}/Linux-rhe/lib:${CODA}/cdev_1.7.5/lib/Linux-rh9

i.) event builder:

click on the icon for the event builder (blocks being assembled)

Name: eb1 Ethernet Host:134.50.3.210 ! this is the daq1 IP address ID # : 1

5.) rcServer

I needed to setup the shared library path so it searches the CMLOG libs byadding the line below to the "setup" script unser $CODA

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/CMLOG/lib/Linux

6.) msql configureation

UROC daq1

7.) edit /etc/hosts added line for daq1

edited /etc/sysconfig

edited /etc/resolve

added search line for physics

8.) edited binary file output

9.) created coda file clicking on bullseye like symbol in cedit

10.) had comment line in $CODA_BIN/makelist

1. $CODA_BIN/fb_strip < $DOING_FILE.i.c > $DOING_FILE.c

11.) codamaster ( can be used to start coda rocs EB and ER...)

setenv KILL_CODA_SCRIPT

coda_roc -i -s -n DAQ -s UROC -t ROC

to make a virtual roc to run native on the Linux host

makelist test_list.crl native
