INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 3DxWare FOR AIX 5.2 ML04 (and higher) - V 1.4.0 ======================================================== To install the files for 3DxWare for Unix to the corresponding directories and to run the driver you need root privileges. Make sure you fulfill the following prerequisites: AIX 5: AIX 5.2 or higher is required. For AIX 52 you will need ML5200-07 or ML5200-04 and APAR IY78349 (can only be applied to ML04 or above) For AIX 53 you will need ML5300-03 or APAR IY78350 The web site URL for IBM fixes is: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/unixservers/aixfixes.html For USB device support you will need the following AIX filesets: devices.pci.22106474 devices.pci.33103500 devices.pci.99172704 devices.pci.c1110358 devices.common.IBM.usb devices.usbif.03000008 The first four contain drivers for the four different USB host controllers that AIX supports. You only need the one that matches your hardware but having them all does no harm. "devices.common.IBM.usb" is the USB System Driver and "devices.usbif.03000008" contains the client driver for 3DConnexion devices. The files for the driver are provided with the following archive: AIX 5: 3dxware-aix5-v1-4-0.tar.gz Please save the file 3dxware-aix5-v1-4-0.tar.gz into the /tmp directory and extract and run the script install-3dxunix.sh: gzip -cd 3dxware-aix5-v1-4-0.tar.gz | tar xf - install-3dxunix.sh ./install-3dxunix.sh If you don't choose during installation the possibility to start the driver during login from the /etc/inittab please make sure the driver is started before you launch your application. For the USB devices start the driver with the following command: AIX 5: /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d usb For the serial devices start the driver with: /etc/3DxWare/daemon -d /dev/ where is the name of your serial port to which the device is attached. Example: /etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d /dev/tty0 For the start of the driver from the /etc/inittab the following line is added: 3dx:234:respawn:/etc/3DxWare/daemon/3dxsrv -d /dev/null 2>&1 where is the name of the port to which the device is attached. Demos: After unpacking 3dxware-aix5-v1-4-0.tar you can find two demos: The cube demo: /tmp/xcube and a value demo: /tmp/xvalue Those are two simple demos that work with the setting "Any Application". You may copy the binaries to your favourite location for binaries.
