NAME

/usr/pil/etc/vxi[lu]/vmedev.cf − This is one of several configuration files used by the ivxirm program. 

DESCRIPTION

Vmedev.cf

This database contains a list of VME devices that use resources (either memory space, or interrupt lines) in the VXI cardcage.  This information is used for printing out information on the devices, for use in diagnostic tools, and for use by the resource manager to make sure that resources aren’t multiply allocated. 

The format of this file is as follows:

name    bus    slot    addr_space    start    size    irqs    ... 

All fields are <tab> seperated.  The slot, start, size, and irqs parameters can all be expressed in decimal or hex.  Multiple interrupt lines (IRQs) can be allocated for a single device by listing them as such. 

Note that "bus" is the logical address of the device through which the resource manager will access the bus. It is 0 for the top-level bus.  For buses accessed through bus extenders, "bus" is the laddr of the parent side extender connecting this bus to higher level buses. 

IRQs may be either tab or space seperated. 

Note that multiple devices in this file can share IRQs. 

Note also that a given bus and slot number combination can only appear on one line.
