Torsten Koschorrek is continuing to slog through bringing the RTAI port 
up to work on the
Beagle Board.  He is getting pretty close to having the full kernel running.

So, I was starting to think about how hard it would be to get EMC2 
ported to the
beagle.  Presumably, most of rtapi can just be compiled without 
attention.  He is working
currently on a 2.6.20 kernel, which sounds a bit old.  I don't know if 
that will
have any impact on running EMC2.  I'm guessing Axis should work directly
on the Beagle, as it has all the graphics hardware.

Of course, the parallel port needs a driver and physical interface.  I 
already have the
interface done, and the driver should be relatively straightforward, I 
already have
a very rough cut.  My hal_ppmc.c driver contains its own "port driver" 
routines, these
could be broken out to make a generic PC parallel port emulator/driver.

Any comments?

Jon
