Linux Driver Support, (about the source code)

[nonomiya]

Hello All,

according to the linux driver support of NI DAQ card modules,

How NI keep the strong support for various linux distribution version?

or Open the SOURCE code to user for modification?

Thanks,

Quick things you need to know:

- There is no MAX.  Use the "nidaqmxconfig" command to import and export configuration files.  There are example config files on my manual above that I'm getting pushed live.  MAX is going to get ported to Linux.
- USB and PCMCIA devices are not yet supported.  They will have to use DAQmx Base for those.
- Devices get recognized by the system.  "nilsdev" is the command that shows what you have.
- There are test panels too.  DAQmxTestPanels is the name of the command to run for em.

Hi All,

Thanks for reply, I want to know how to implement our custom driver,

I found the information by this link - Register Level Programming for OEM Customers,

It seems I shoould download Register-Level API and Generic OS Interface to develop

our OS Specific Functions, we should use

Measurement Hardware Driver Development Kit (MDDK) to do.

By the way, I also found the DAQ-mx version 8 for linux by this link,

[link removed]

and download the  NIDAQ800_RedHat.iso  file for check,

So I have three questions here,

1. for Customized Driver that support our linux distribution (not list in NI Web),

    I can get the specific register map and driver source code(based on GPL principle)?

2. for DAQ-mx version 8 for linux, that means I can recomplie the DRIVER Source if necessary?

3. What the MDDK's function between item 1 and item 2.

Thanks!!
