- CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Scientific Linux
Note: For RHEL6, use CentOS6 packages.
Install these packages using 'yum install packagename':
make
kernel-devel
gcc
The version of kernel-devel must match your current kernel.
Install delivered versions of our packages using 'rpm -U packagename'.
Use the following order:
dkms
spd-adq-pci-dkms
libadq0
adqtools
After installing all necessary packages, reboot the system so that udev reads
the updated configuration and the driver loads.
In earlier versions there was a package called 'adqupdater' which is now
replaced with the 'adqtools' package.
=== DEVICE ACCESS RIGHTS ===
ADQ devices show up as /dev/adq_pcie_ and /dev/adq_usb_, the default udev
setting is to add read/write access to the user group "adq". The libadq0
package will create a user group called "adq" if that group doesn't already
exist in the system. To be able to access the devices, in order to add your
user to the "adq" group use the command:
usermod -a -G adq username
The user will have to logout and login again for the changes to take effect.
=== COMPATIBILITY ===
The PCIe kernel module supports kernel versions from 2.6.32 and forward,
however kernel version 3.8.0 or newer is recommended.
The PCIe kernel module is not signed and thus will not load if your kernel uses
"secure boot". If "secure boot" is enabled, it will need to be disabled before
the kernel module can be loaded. Refer to your distribution documentation on
how to do this.
=== API USER GUIDE ===
The API user guide is included as a .pdf document in the "doc" directory. All
API functions are described there.
