To install a mini inst, you need to install the EPICS backend and add the following in the \NDXxxxxx\configurations\ area.
-
startup.txt: contains a list of the IOCs to start (use the IOC name as in the IOCs list) -
globals.txt: add macro values you want the IOCs instartup.txtto start up with. To do this, add a line per macro of the format<IOC_name>__<macro_name>=<macro_value>
You can start up the mini inst using the normal start_ibex_server and stop it with stop_ibex_server. It will look for the startup.txt and start up the mini inst instead of the full IBEX server if it exists.
If you update a configuration in globals.txt then don't forget to restart the IOC. This can be done either by running start_ibex_server but it is more efficient to console to the IOC and restart it using ctrl+x.
