Software Installation and Configuration

This section describes how to set-up HPI-B daemons and clients and how to install all files

needed to run client applications. Generally, all files are delivered in the form of RPMs. The

content of an RPM is reflected in its naming scheme.

The following table describes the used naming scheme of the client and daemon RPMs. The

placeholder "architecture" stands for the supported CPU architecture of the re spective blade

where the client or daemon is to run and can be any of the following:

zx86

Intel IA-32 bit blades, such as PrAMC-7210/7211

zx86_64

Intel IA-64-bit blades, such as the ATCA-7221

zppc_e500v2

PowerPC based blades, such as the ATCA-F120

The files required for the HPI-B daemon come as part of the ATCA-F120 software. Depending

on the particular ATCA-F120 release, the HPI-B daemon files are already preinstalled or not.

Check the respective documentation of the ATCA-F120 itself and of the system where the

ATCA-F120 is used.

If the HPI-B software is not preinstalled or if you want to upgrade the installed HPI-B software,

then you can obtain the daemon files as an RPM file. The file can be obtained from Emerson.

This section describes how to install and configure an HPI-B daemon.
