Release Notes

Changes since V2.13 release.

IPAC Driver

Added:

• Support for Acromag's IP520 - eight asynchronous EIA/TIA-232E serial communication ports on an Industry Pack module. The EPICS IP520 support provides baud-rates from 1,200 to 230,400 and reduced CPU overhead by way of the IP520's 64-character transmit and receive FIFO's.

tyGSOctal Driver

Bugs Fixed:

• tyGSOctalConfig() was not checking that the device returned by iosDevFind() was an exact match to the name given. Now it does.

Changed:

• Define _VSB_CONFIG_FILE to prevent VxWorks 6.x compiler warning.

IP520 - Acromag IP520 Serial Driver

Added:

• This driver software, documentation and release notes.
