Software Installation and Configuration
2.1 Overview
This section describes how to set-up HPI-B daemons and clients and how to install all files
needed to run client applications. Generally, all files are delivered in the form of RPMs. The
content of an RPM is reflected in its naming scheme.
The following table describes the used naming scheme of the client and daemon RPMs. The
placeholder "architecture" stands for the supported CPU architecture of the respective blade
where the client or daemon is to run and can be any of the following:
z x86
Intel IA-32 bit blades, such as PrAMC-7210/7211
z x86_64
Intel IA-64-bit blades, such as the ATCA-7221
z ppc_e500v2
PowerPC based blades, such as the ATCA-F120
The files required for the HPI-B daemon come as part of the ATCA-F120 software. Depending
on the particular ATCA-F120 release, the HPI-B daemon files are already preinstalled or not.
Check the respective documentation of the ATCA-F120 itself and of the system where the
ATCA-F120 is used.
If the HPI-B software is not preinstalled or if you want to upgrade the installed HPI-B software,
then you can obtain the daemon files as an RPM file. The file can be obtained from Emerson.
2.2 Installing and Configuring the HPI-B Daemon
