Installation
The archive contains both Windows and Linux executables. Simply extract the archive
into your preferred location. Make sure to preserve the folder names from the archive.
Distributions
We have tested the SPP GSEOS software on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.04.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Other teams have also successfully
run it on CentOS.
It will not work on older, unsupported version of Ubuntu (<= 8.x).
Since GSEOS is a 32-bit application you have to make sure the 32-bit
libraries are installed if you are running on a 64-bit platform.
Fonts
To make the transition between Windows and Linux smoother please
make sure to install the MS TT Core Fonts on your system. That
will ensure that the default screens render properly.
Opal Kelly
It is not necessary to install any Opal Kelly drivers. The archive
comes with the 32-bit Opal Kelly drivers. You don't need to install
these, the only system configuration you have to make is the addition
of one file to the directory:
60-opalkelly.rules -----> /etc/udev/rules.d/
The file 60-opalkelly.rules is in the root folder of the SPP GSEOS
distribution. This file includes a generic udev rule to set the
permissions on all attached Opal Kelly USB devices to allow user
access. Once this file is in place, you will need to reload the
rules by either rebooting or using the following command:
/sbin/udevadm control --reload_rules
With these files in place, the Linux device system should
automatically provide write permissions to XEM devices attached
to the USB.
If you want to install the Opal Kelly FrontPanel application please
use the 32-bit version.
We have been running Linux as a VM and the emulator works fine in this configuration.
Virtual Machines
We have been running Linux in a VM and the emulator has been tested
in this configuration. We have tested this on both Windows and Mac OSX
hosts.
