OpenClovis downloads

Hi all,
Looking at the downloads page, I see that there are two available releases:
- OpenClovis for ATCA Chassis ( RHEL4, CentOS only ) - 2.2 GA Candidate and
- OpenClovis for Linux machines - 2.2.oss1.alpha
What's exectly the difference between these two? Is there a difference in functionality, licensing, etc?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,Atti
Hi ,
There are no differences in terms of licensing. The release you see for ATCA chassis has open-hpi related stuff which is needed in a chassis based system.
The PC based release does not worry about open-hpi.

Hi,
thanks for your reply :)
So, supposing that I want to do development on Linux PCs and I will deploy the applications on ATCA blades, do I have to use the release for ATCA chassis?
By the way, I took a look into the contents of both packages, and the PC version contains the openhpi package too, even a newer version, 2.6.3 vs. 2.4.1. Also the openhpi-subagent, net-snmp and glib are newer, so if it were me, I would use this one. Or... if you say it won't work correctly with ATCA, I will have to use the other one... I'm in a big dilemma... help! :)

Hi Atti,
The oss1 release provides support for many different Linux distributions. So if you are running Ubuntu or SUSE on your development machine you should download that one. Note also that the releases are basically compatible -- you can use the 2.2.oss1 on your desktop and then switch to 2.2 GA when you move to the ATCA chassis.
Hi,
It is suggested that you should use the release for ATCA chassis. Your guess is right. There were issues in integration of open-hpi newer versions and openclovis ASP.
So you can use the ATCA version for both development on linux machines and as well as the ATCA chassis.
HTH,
Hari
