The SPIRAL-2 superconducting linac driver, which aims at delivering 5 mA, 40 MeV deuterons and up to 1 mA, 14.5 A.MeV q/A=1/3 heavy ions, has now entered its construction phase in GANIL (Caen, France). The linac is composed of two injectors feeding one single RFQ, followed by a superconducting section based on 88 MHz independently-phased quarter-wave cavities with room temperature focusing elements. The protons/deuteron injector have been fully built and commissioned at CEA Saclay in 2012, before moving and final installation at GANIL in 2013. Beam emittances have been measured at different positions of the LEBT and especially at the RFQ injection point. The space-charge beam compensation has been also carefully studied. This paper describes all the results obtained during this commissioning.
