Zhuo Zhao, C.H.Wang, Ge Lei, Jianming Zhao, Kang-Wei Yue, Jia Liu · 2003
IHEP will begin the BEPCII project that has been funded by the Chinese Government in order to further upgrade the BEPC (Beijing Electron Positron Collider) which has operated since 1989 [1]. As a part of this updating project, control system is decided to use EPICS [2]. EPICS IOCs can run on many kinds of operating systems [3], for example VxWorks, Unix, Linux, Windows, RTEMS and so on. Based on the idea of creating EPICS OPI on Linux and downloading real-time database to VME IOC target board, this article is mainly about how to setup EPICS base and EPICS extension on Linux operating system and furthermore how to finish communication between server and Linux control platform. In order to come into being a friendly environment of application development we will try our best to supply some templates. At last this article will also discuss that how the Linux platform works in the distribute network environment created by EPICS.
