Teledyne LeCroy website at teledynelecroy.com.
Overview
The software for LSIB Linux consists of the following
components and their associated include and make files.

The kernel driver.

A user library named lecroylsiblib.

Three demo programs named LSIBPerformance,
LSIBexportsample, and LSIBcontrolsample.
These are all supplied as source files, written in C/C++,
and packaged in a bzip2 compressed tar file named
LSIB -xxxxxx.tz2.
NOTE: You need to compile the source files and install
them on your system.
Requirements

The LSIB Linux driver requires the use of MTRRs
(Memory Type Range Registers) to map the memory
used for communications. This requires kernel
version 2.6.20 or greater.

The use of the MTRRs also require the CPU be a 64-
bit AMD or an Intel processor running a 64-bit
version of Linux.

The gcc compilers.

The kernel sources. These can be obtained by
issuing the following Redhat Linux command:
# yum install kernel-devel Kernel-headers
