3.1 Establishing PDA Communications
3.1 Establishing PDA Communications
Make sure the PDA has been installed correctly, and verify that the kernel can
communicate with the PDA by entering the following command:
#dastat /dev/da0a
A message similar to the following should display:

If the
dastat
command fails, check the following areas:
• Device Entry
• PDA Device
• PVME PCB
• Parallel VME 6U Adapter PCB
• VME 6U Interface PCB
If there is no Device Entry, verify the device file is present by entering the
following command:
# ls -l /dev/da0a
If the Device Entry is not present, make the device, using the following command:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV da0
Then reboot by entering:
# /etc/reboot
If there is no PDA Device, verify the kernel exists by looking at the most recent
system startup message by entering the following command:
# uerf -R | more
