4.1.1.3 Installation
Note:
It is absolutely necessary to install the kernel sources and configure them to comply with
the running kernel,
before
installing the CAN-driver!
1. Unpacking the Archive
In order to unpack the tar-archive the file has to be unzipped and untarred:
1.1.1 Unzip the Archive
unzip esdcan-crd-os-arch-ver-ext.zip
with
crd
= card-id (e.g.:
crd
=pci200 or
crd
=cpci405, see table on page 62)
os
= host-operating-system (e.g.:
os
=linux_2_4_x)
arch
= host-architecture (e.g.:
arch
=x86 or
arch
=x86_64)
ver
= driver version (e.g.:
ver
=3.7.2)
ext
= extension (applicable to certain cards only, e.g.:
ext
=gcc2)
You will be prompted for a password.
The password can be found in the accompanying file README_FIRST
(delivered on the CAN-CD or per e-mail).
Resulting file:
esdcan-crd-os-arch-ver-ext.tar
1.1.2 Untar the Driver Directory
tar -xvf esdcan-crd-os-arch-ver-ext.tar
with
crd
= card-id (e.g.:
crd
=pci200 or
crd
=cpci405, see table on page 62)
os
= host-operating-system (e.g.:
os
=linux_2_4_x)
arch
= host-architecture (e.g.:
arch
=x86 or
arch
=x86_64)
ver
= driver version (e.g.:
ver
=3.7.2)
ext
= extension (applicable to certain cards only, e.g.:
ext
=gcc2)
You will end up with a directory named as the archive.
1.2 Unzip and Untar in a Single Step
Alternatively the unzipping and untaring of the driver directory can be accomplished in a
single step with:
unzip -p esdcan-crd-os-arch-ver-ext.zip
|
tar -xv
The unpacked files will be stored in a directory that carries the same name as the archive
file.
