2. Login as root
3. Start the INSTALL script:
./INSTALL
The installation script compiles and installed the driver, copies the shared library to /usr/lib and creates a
link.
You may need to perform some additional steps - e.g. creating entries in /etc/modules.conf. Please read
the file readme.htm for details.
As there are a lot of different linux distributions with many different kernel versions, we can not garantee
that the driver run under all circumstances.
In case of problems please email our support. Attach a copy of the terminal output and error messages.
The subdirectory bin/i386 contains the configuration program. As this program is the same under
Windows and Linux, please have a look at the Windows section of this manual for details.
The subdirectory samples contains some simple samples showing how to access the frame grabber in
our own programs.
2.4.2.2. ELinOS cross development
The Linux drivers are suitable for ELinOS cross developement too. Beneath the i368 drivers there exists
PowerPC drivers for ELTEC BAB740/750 and BAB911 boards.
In order to install for ELinOS cross compilation perform the following steps:
1. Install ELinOS and create a project for your hardware. This step is beyond the scope of the manual.
Please refer to the ELinOS manual and the manuals coming with the ELTEC BAB boards.
2. Source the script ELINOS.sh in a shell.
3. Unpack the tar file to a directory of your choice.
4. Change to this directory.
5. Start INSTALL. You need not to bee root !
The steps above create a subdirectory src/grabber in your ELINOS_PROJECT directory. In order to
compile the project with elk, you may need to edit the topmost makefile in your project directory.
Please have a look at the README file coming with the driver archive for additional details.
