EPICS, Raspberry Pi, Linux

One of the open source software tool kit is EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) developed and maintained by Argonne National laboratory, US and is in use worldwide. It maintains the server client distributed control system. Communication between server and client are done through a named piece of data called Process Variable (PV). There may be many client and many servers. [1].This paper presents the installation of EPICS in Raspberry Pi. EPICS installation in Raspberry Pi has been done in a stepwise process that includes some application specific modules.
