This=VME/VXI/ISA/PCI/cPCI board • Put into VME crate or PC • Load vxWorks & EPICS base software, write vxWorks driver (C/C++), then • Add subroutine record support • Add device support for existing record types • Maybe even add new record types
This=Something else • Implement vxWorks driver, … as before • Implement Linux or Win32 driver • Add device support for EPICS base R3.14 (database runs on Linux, Win32, …) • Add CA server or client library to connect it to the EPICS network
