From the list of displayed devices, select your device, by looking at the Vendor and Device Ids (and/or
Class codes) in the list and choosing the one that corresponds to your device. For example, in the
example program output list above, if the Vendor and Device ID of the board you have installed on the
extender are 10ec:8168, you would simply type “1”, as follows.
Enter Device to Save: 1
The program would then proceed to read the entire configuration space of the device entered, and
save it to “live.dat” in the run directory.
At this point, if you would like to swap boards, do the following:
1) Turn the extender Slot Power switch OFF.
2) Check that the +12V and +3.3V LEDs on the extender are off!
If so, remove board from
extender and install a new board
of the same type
3) Turn Slot Power switch ON. The +12V and +3.3V LEDS should come on.
4) Type
“liveinsert -w”
in the command prompt to run the live insertion software in write mode.
This mode will write the configuration space stored in “live.dat” back to the correct device.
5) You may now run your application the way you normally do and it should correctly run the newly
inserted board.
The newly installed board is now ready for your user program to access. You may use the board, later
uninstall it (be sure to turn slot power switch OFF first), and then replace it with yet another board by
repeating steps 1 through 5 above.
Note that this disk file may only be used during the current boot of the system. If the system is re-
booted, some of the configuration data written to your board may change. Therefore, on each system
reboot, you should make a new disk file, and should not use the pre-existing “live.dat” file.
