LCD Driver

1.Insert the driver CD into the CD drive.

2.Copy MiSM_LLCDxx_for_yyy.tar.gz of the /LCD/GS12/Linux/ directory to the directory of your choice (where xx refers to the version and yyy refers to the operating system).

3.Untar/unzip archive: tar zxf MiSM_LLCDxx_for_yyy.tar.gz.

4.Change to the driver SRC directory: cd MiSM_LLCDxx_for_yyy/.

5.Install the LCD driver: ./LCDinstall.

6.Confirm that the NICs can be enabled when the system starts.

7.Reboot the system.

NOTE: Ignore any depmod: ***Unresolved symbols in ************.

Watchdog Driver

Usually, a userspace daemon notifies the kernel Watchdog driver through a special device file at /dev/watchdog directory that the userspace still exists at regular intervals. When such a notification occurs, the driver usually informs the hardware Watchdog that everything is in order and it should reset the system after a little while. If userspace should fail (e.g., RAM error, kernel bug, etc.) the notification ceases and the hardware Watchdog resets the system (reboot) after the timeout occurs.

1.Insert the driver CD into the CD drive.

2.Copy wddm-x.x.tar.gzof the /ASF/Linux/watchdog/ directory to the directory of your choice (where x.x refers to the version).

3.Untar/unzip archive: tar xfvz wddm-x.x.tar.gz.

4.Change to the driver directory: cd wddm-x.x.

5.Install the WatchDog driver: make make install.

ASF Alert Simulation

The ASF Alert Simulation program is required to enable your system to send out a SNMP trap when sensors (temperature, voltage, or fan speed) detect an abnormal condition.

1.Insert the driver CD into the CD drive.

2.Copy asfm-x.x.tar.gzof the /ASF/Linux/ASF_Simulation/ directory to the directory of your choice (where x.x refers to the version).
