SunOS, Solaris, HPUX, and Linux drivers are available through our Device Drivers page.  For pricing and availability of DOS, Windows (including NT), AIX, and IRIX drivers, please contact Interface Consultants.

SunOS and HP-UX drivers are posted as a set of separate files, including installation instructions in readme (or similarly named) files.  Linux drivers are posted as sets of individual files and as compressed tarfiles.  Solaris drivers are posted as sets of separate files, or as installable packages.

Each Solaris package file is stored in compressed format, and may contain both hardcopy and DR11 drivers, or may contain a single driver.  When prompted to select a package during installation, select IKONihcp for hardcopy appllications, or IKONidr for DR11 applications If the wrong packages is installed, an error message will be displayed indicating that the driver was successfully added to the system, but failed to attach.

 
To install a Solaris package:

     Install the board in the host machine.

     Down load the appropriate combined package file: filename.Z

     Uncompress the file:  uncompress -fv filename.Z

     Add the package:  (as super user)  pkgadd -d filename

Using pkgadd is the easiest way to install a driver on a Solaris system.  Pkgadd puts all the files in the correct places, (/usr/kernel/drv and /opt/package_name) and actually installs the driver.

To install a Linux driver:

    Download the appropriate compressed tarfile:
    ..ihcp..tar.Z for the 10117 hardcopy board, or ..idr..tar.Z for the 10118 DR11-W emulator.
    Newer files may be in .gz format

    Uncompress the file:  uncompress ./filename.Z or gunzip ./filename.gz

    Untar the uncompressed file:  tar -xvf ./filename

    (Or, in one command: tar -xvZf ./filename.Z or tar -xvzf ./filename.gz)

    Follow the instructions in the included README
