Supported OS version
Linux Kernel >= 2.6.3-7mdk
Supported target processor(s)
32-bits x86 compatible processor
The driver code source and makefiles for applicom® and applicomIO® are supplied. Allow to recompile (without any modification) the kernel driver for Linux kernel (>2.6.3-7mdk). A pre-compiled version of the driver is however supplied for kernel = 2.6.3-7mdk.
Supported development platform
Most Linux packages, redistributing the Linux kernel 2.6.3-7mdk and upper, can be used.
Supported Software Interfaces
applicom® standard API
- Library runs using interruption
- Multi process compatible
Libraries are supplied as static libraries (no shared libraries ".so") and so cannot be used from JAVA through JNI
The Linux solution supports the new PCI 32-bits management
Libraries are supplied in two modes:
- For mono-process use.
- For multi-process use. In this case, two particular daemons must be start on the target.
Mutli-threading (forks) is not supported by the solution
Supported card format
All applicom® card formats (PCI, CompactPCI, ISA, PC/104)
Configuration / Initialisation
- Pre-initialised cards using applicom® Console under Windows. Can be done via: Dual boot system, Flashing card memory, Remote configuration through TCP/IP, and Serial port.
- Produce configuration file (.ply) using applicom® Console under Windows and copy file to Linux system to use "Player" tool to initialise the card.
Diagnostic
Local:
- DPRAM card visualization tool
- PCMON, (task visualization)
- Essai – applicom® testing tools
Remote via TCP/IP: full applicom® console features.
Remote via Serial port: not available

Limitations
- Mutli-threading (forks) is not supported by the solution
- Static libraries only (no shared libraries)
