Type is also in database templates.

Types have #defines in mpsLinkNodeMacros.h which can be used for conditional behavior:

/* MPS Link Node Configuration Modes */

#define MPS_ANA_MODE                (0x05)

#define MPS_PIC_MODE                (0x04)

#define MPS_MPG_CONTROL_MODE        (0x03)

#define MPS_BYKIK_MODE              (0x02)

#define MPS_BLM_MODE                (0x01)

#define MPS_MITIGATION_CONTROL_MODE (0x00)

Booting sequence:

mpsInitialize reads rotary switches for link node #, identity/type from FPGA.

...

mpsGetLinkNodeLOCA() and mpsGetLinkNodeUNIT() functions use link node ID # to index arrays at the top of drvMpsLinkNode.c:

...

Add the loca and unit to these arrays following existing pattern.

• One substitutions for the things common to all link nodes, using mps.template, e.g. mpsLTU1MP12.substitutions
• One substitutions file for the flavor of link node, using mps.aln_template, mps.blm_template, mps.byk_template, mps.pic_template, e.g. mpsLTU1MP12.aln_substitutions
• Add new link node to Makefile, e.g. add lines DB += mpsLTU1MP12.template and DB += mpsLTU1MP12.aln_template
