[comp.sys.apollo] dsp80 multibus server problem.

roger@GW1.AGS.BNL.GOV (Roger A. Katz) (08/09/90)

I have a dsp80, with 1.5Mbytes of memory. It has the following config:
System configured with 1.5 mb of memory.

  NODE CONFIGURATION
    Node Type:  DSP80
    Display type:  No display
    Peripheral configuration:
        Disks:  none
        Networks: Ring
        Peripheral bus:  Multibus-M20
        Tapes:  none
    Running diskless hosted by node 76B8.
when it was running 9.7 i had no trouble building a gpio device named
ibie, acquiring the device and using it.
I have a dsp80, with 2.0 mb of memory, running under 10.2 using the
gpio device ibie with out any trouble.
Now, though, i have removed the last 9.7 node from my network, and have
booted the 1.5 diskless node off of a 10.2 node, recreated the ibie
in its `node_data/dev directory, and get the following message from
aqdev.
$ wd
//acn90d01/sys/node_data.519d/dev
$ aqdev ibie
?(aqdev) M020 series node required to execute this object module (process manager/loader)
                   
                   What is this message telling me? Any ideas or suggestions will be
appreciated.

Roger.

I'm sure, I maybe wrong, but I'm sure.

The message means that the system thinks the device driver
was compiled with the -CPU 3000 switch (or one of the equivalent
330, 560, etc). This code will run on a DSP90, which has
a Motorola 68020 CPU and a 68881 FPU, but not on a DSP80 or
DSP80-A, which has a 68010 CPU and no FPU. Recompile the
device driver with the -CPU ANY switch (which should be
the default value if no -CPU is given).
