Including the New Drivers Onto the Source Tree

Once a new driver have been developed, it must be included into the source tree for it to be compiled into the code. This involves four steps:

  1. place driver into the appropriate directory under the rt_tasks directory in the source tree. That is, place the new driver under the rt_tasks/ad_cards and rt_tasks/da_cards directories for ADC or DAC drivers, respectively.
  2. edit the Makefile.am file in the appropriate subdirectory (rt_tasks/ad_cards or rt_tasks/da_cards) by changing the ``SOURCES'' entry to the name of your newly written driver
  3. return to the top level of the rtic directory and type: make clean,
  4. compile and install rtic by typing: make install
