Which driver for PCI-6254 and 3.14 Kernel

[ibm0815]

Hi,

where can I find a suitable driver for PCI-6254 which works with my kernel?

I am using 3.14.3-rt4-PASU4-v1 #3 SMP PREEMPT RT Tue May 27 08:09:13 CEST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux on OpenSuse 13.1

NI-DAQmx Base 3.7.0-f0 for Linux/x86/x86_64 doesnt work because NIVISA can`t be installed

What am I doing wrong?

Ok.... I got that one fixed with this hack https://decibel.ni.com/content/message/52494#52494

Isn`t there a way to get the nirplk working on 64bit with 3.14 kernel?

[BradM]

create_proc_read_entry is a kernel symbol that disappeared around the 3.10 timeframe. You're going to need a newer kal to use such a new kernel (bit-ness matters not here)

[GabeJ]

The create_proc_read_entry change was addressed in NI-KAL 2.4.  The latest KAL on the web is NI-KAL 2.5.

Having said that, that is not the only change required for 3.14 kernel support.  While I can't talk specifics about future releases, I can say that we are constantly working to update NI-KAL for our supported Linux distributions.

[ibm0815]

Ok.. I tried installing NI-KAL 2.5

I also downgraded Kernel to 3.10.39-rt40 PREEMPT RT x68_64 because OpenSuse 13.1 (which is supported by 2.5 NIKAL) has 3.11.6* as default.

Looks good so far ... BUT...  when calling updateNIDrivers it sucks again....

What to do in order to get the NI stuff working???

Ok seems as this was my fault. I changed some Kernel-configs and now it works.. NI-KAL installed successfully....

Thx!

[GabeJ]

Great news!  Was this originally a default kernel config for OpenSUSE 13.1?  Would you mind sharing the config parameters that you tweaked in order to help out fellow users?  Thanks!

[ibm0815]

Yeah of course... plain text here or can I upload it anywhere?

BTW: Where can I find some C/C++ sample code?

[GabeJ]

I was hoping you would just summarize in this thread the config params that you had to change and the values you changed them to.

I don't know anything about sample code, but I'm sure someone on these forums can point you in the correct direction.
