2.2 Start the driver process
To start the TPMC18 device driver respective the TPMC118 resource manager you have to enter the
process name with optional parameters from the command shell or in the startup script.

This will start the TPMC118 resource manager with default configuration that means the driver start
scanning the PCI-bus for TPCM118 modules and creates devices for each TPMC118.
The TPMC118 Resource Manager registers created devices in the Neutrinos pathname space under
following names.
/dev/tpmc118_0
/dev/tpmc118_1
...
/dev/tpcm118_x
This pathname must be used in the application program to open a path to the desired TPMC118
device.
fd = open(“/dev/tpmc118_0”, O_RDWR);
Start the TPMC118 Resource Manager with the –v option for debugging. Now the Resource Manager
will print versatile information about TPMC118 configuration and command execution on the terminal
window.
