	SESAME is a 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source under construction in Allan, Jordan. The control system of SESAME is based on EPICS and CSS. Various developments in EPICS drivers, clients, software tools and hardware have been done. This paper will present some of the main achievements: new linux-x86 EPICS drivers and soft IOCS developed for the Micro-Research Finland event timing system replacing the VME/VxWorks-based drivers; new EPICS drivers and clients developed for the Basler GigE cameras; an IOC deployment and management driver developed to monitor the numerous virtual machines running the soft IOCs, and to ease deployment of updates to these IOCs; an automated EPICS checking tool developed to aid in the review, validation and application of the in-house rules for all record databases; a new EPICS record type (mbbi2) developed to provide alarm features missing from the multibit binary records found in the base distribution of EPICS; and a test of feasibility for replacing serial terminal servers with low-cost computers.

SESAME is a 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source under construction in Allan, Jordan. The control system of SESAME is based on EPICS and CSS. Various developments in EPICS drivers, clients, software tools and hardware have been done. This paper will present some of the main achievements: new linux-x86 EPICS drivers and soft IOCS developed for the Micro-Research Finland event timing system replacing the VME/VxWorks-based drivers; new EPICS drivers and clients developed for the Basler GigE cameras; an IOC deployment and management driver developed to monitor the numerous virtual machines running the soft IOCs, and to ease deployment of updates to these IOCs; an automated EPICS checking tool developed to aid in the review, validation and application of the in-house rules for all record databases; a new EPICS record type (mbbi2) developed to provide alarm features missing from the multibit binary records found in the base distribution of EPICS; and a test of feasibility for replacing serial terminal servers with low-cost computers.
