Installation Components
The installation of the Silicon Software Runtime consists of three components:
- Driver package
- Software components and documentation package
- Installation script
Driver package: The driver comes as source code and has to be compiled and installed before usage (see section 2.3below). The file name of the device driver package is:
menable_linuxdrv_src_4.2.5.tar.bz2
(The figures “4.2.5” indicate the version of the driver and may differ with another delivery.)
Software components and documentation package: The package contains all software components and the documentation. The components come as ready-to-use binary files. You can use the installation script to extract and copy the files to their final destinations within the file system (see below).
The file name of the software and documentation package is:
- siso-rt5-5.6-linux-amd64.tar.bz2 (for 64 bit systems)
- siso-rt5-5.6-linux-ia32.tar.bz2 (for 32 bit systems)
(The figures “rt5-5.6” indicate the version of the software and may differ with another delivery.)
The following main software components are contained (amongst others):
- Runtime libraries (SDK) as library (*.so)
- Applets (*.so)
- Header files and linker libraries (*.h and *.a) of the Software Development Kit (SDK)
- Tools in form of executable files (command line and GUI tools for support, diagnosis and parametrization)
- Firmware files for the individual frame grabber types and models (*.hap)
- Documentation
Installation script: To ease the installation of the software components, a shell script is delivered which copies the software component files to their final destinations (installation folder) and makes entries in the system environment (see below for details). The file name of the installation script is:
siso-rt5-5.6-linux-amd64-installer.sh (for 64 bit systems)
siso-rt5-5.6-linux-ia32-installer.sh (for 32 bit systems)
(The figures “rt5-5.6” indicate the version of the software and may differ with another delivery.)
