My personal EPICS distribution for Debian-like systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian).

It contains:

• EPICS Base 3.15 (bazaar version May 21, 2014)
• Modules
• seq
• ipac
• asyn
• stream device
• Extensions
• EasyCA

All sources are taken from the EPICs website. The corresponding RELEASE files where adapted, no source files were changed. Credit goes to the corresponding authors, I just put the sources together in one place.

EPICS and the here used modules are published under the EPICS Open License.

Please see:

• The EPICS website
• The EPICs modules download page

1. Clone into /opt/epics. Other destination paths are not supportet right now (unless you find all hardcoded paths in the config files and adjust them).
2. cd /opt/epics
3. make -jN, where N = number of processes to use. You will be asked to enter your password for sudo to install (possibly) missing dependencies. The build process takes about 75 minutes on the Raspberry Pi.
4. source thisEPICS.sh to set up paths.
5. Test: Type caget and see if it works.
