Difference: DTCSoftware (1 vs. 6)

• Implement a "keepalive" function in dtctool to make sure that the connection never times out

• Implement logging using log4cplus (see DCC or other code for examples)

• Enhance Init() method to check registers 1, 7, 0xc etc for sensible values. Also capture versions and serial numbers in member variables for later checking.

• Implement cgicc for HTML output of "expert view"
• Make a simple HTML view of DTC registers in a table with their names and brief description
• Implement a "keepalive" function in dtctool to make sure that the connection never times out
• Re-write dtctool with the DTC class (contingent on importing ipmitool into the xDAQ source tree)

To Do

• Implement logging using log4cplus (see DCC or other code for examples)
• Throw exceptions on errors
• Enhance Init() method to check registers 1, 7, 0xc etc for sensible values. Also capture versions and serial numbers in member variables for later checking.
• DTCRegister – add boolean "verify" which causes readback and check of value, exception on mis-match
• Implement cgicc for HTML output of "expert view"
• Make a simple HTML view of DTC registers in a table with their names and brief description

A copy of ipmitool modified to include the dtcreg library and dtctool may be found at:

Software/code relevant to the DTC:

• ipmitool:

As the name says: a tool used to send commands with IPMI. Page includes usage with the DTC and how to build off of its code.

• DTC library:

A library with read/write functions constructed from ipmitool libraries specifically for use with the DTC.

• dtctool:

A command-line tool for reading/writing register values on the DTC.
