Attempting to create a DAQ Program for use with a VME System
- CAEN Libraries (note: just copy shared libs and includes) because their install script sucks.
- CAENVMElib to compile code
- CAENComm for CAENUpgrader
- CAENUpgrader for firmware upgrades.
=== CAEN A2818 PCI CARD drivers ===
- Drivers were download from website
- after make had to run sudo a2818_load in order to get the drivers to load
- TODO: add to system startup script
=== CAEN VX2718 VME Controller firmware upgrade ===
- TODO
