Installing the MPSS (MIC Platform Software Stack)
Step - 1: Disable SELinux before installing Intel(R) MPSS software, to avoid SELinux overriding standard Linux permissions settings.
vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=disabled
Step - 2: Check for previous installed version of Intel(R) MPSS package. If present, stop the service and uninstall the package.
sudo rpm -qa | grep intel-mic
Step - 3: Uninstall previous version of Intel(R) MPSS driver if present. Red Hat* Enterprise Linux*
sudo yum remove --noplugins --disablerepo=* intel-mic\*
Starting Intel(R) MPSS Services
Start Intel(R) MPSS by using the Linux* service command, reset the system, and check coprocessor status.
sudo service mpss start sudo micctrl -r sudo micctrl -w
Stopping Intel(R) MPSS Services
sudo service mpss stop sudo service mpss unload
