1.4 IOC startup choices
An input/output controller (IOC) needs executable code, record definitions, and configuration. This training shows three ways to provide them.
| Method | Use it to learn | Lesson |
|---|---|---|
softIocPVX -d water.db | Load a database with standard record support | Run your first IOC |
A compiled application and st.cmd | Build an IOC and select support in Makefiles | Generate and run an IOC application |
iocsh.bash st.cmd | Select installed module support at startup | Run an IOC with installed modules |
Chapter 2 starts the application build lessons. Chapter 6 uses the installed loader and reuses the device files developed in those lessons.
