For the study of fundamental nuclear physics, the Spiral2 facility, a driver accelerator followed by a rare ion production process, will be coupled with the existing Ganil machine to provide light and heavy exotic nuclei at extremely high intensities. To ease the collaboration with several institutes on the control system design, EPICS has been chosen as the basic framework and a specific care has been taken concerning the software organization and management. While first operational interfaces for power supplies, faraday cups or beam slits are already operational, a triggered fast acquisition system for beam diagnostics, a radiofrequency control system, and an emittance measurement system are going to be achieved. First EDM supervision screens and high level tuning applications based on EPICS/XAL framework have been designed. The use of relational databases, on the one hand for the design of an environment to generate the Epics databases, on the other hand to manage, set and archive meaningful values of the new facility, is under investigation. From the beginning of last year, two sources followed by their first beam line section have been tested. Promising results are presented.
