If you type ibdev at the prompt, ibic asks you for the input parameters, as
shown in the following example.
: ibdev
enter 'EOI on last byte' flag:
id = 32259
ud0:
Three distinct errors can occur with the ibdev call:
•
EDVR – No device is available, the board index entered refers to a
nonexistent board—that is, not 0, 1, 2, or 3—or the board has no driver
installed. The following example illustrates an EDVR error.
: ibdev 4 6 0x67 7 1 0
id = -1
[8000]
error: EDVR (2)
:
•
ENEB – The board index entered refers to a known board (such as 0), but
the driver cannot find the board. In this case, run ibconf to verify that the
base address of the board is set correctly.
•
EARG – One of the last five parameters is an illegal value. The ibdev call
returns with a new prompt and the EARG error (invalid function argument).
If the ibdev call returns with an EARG error, you must identify which
parameter is incorrect and use the appropriate command to correct it. In the
following example, pad has an invalid value. You can correct it with an
ibpad call.
