[Halld-online] Minutes from the Hall D Online meeting 21-Jul-2010

[Alexander Somov]

Hi guys,

There is no rush switching to Linux, we can do many things under
VxWorks. We certainly don't want to put any pressure on Bryan,
though, as Bryan has mentioned, the drivers already exist for
several modules.

I would like to switch to Linux to start 'learning/checking' the
rock 'performance'. For the users, most high-level functions
are identical for VxWorks and Linux.


I hope that we will be able to move to Linux when the TID prototype
is checked and the drivers for the TID and CTP are ready. There is
no rush again...

Cheers,
       Alex
