Hi Bas. what I'm after is a low-end platform like the BeagleBone running most or all of LinuxCNC with the best stepper performance achievable while still running one of the userthreads RT styles, RTAI being not an option and Xenomai heading for userthreads.
I'd be willing to put some effort into making it a showcase that it can be done (really just because this community is dead conservative about such issues and really needs to be rubbed into hard numbers to be convinced;) Sergey did it with his FIQ scheme, you did it with the coprocessor doing the stepgen, so its possible in principle that said, of course I'm not trying to extort any intellectual property out of you which you're not willing to open for good reasons (well in reality of course I tried, but having worked for a Dutch company for a decade I rest my case immediately ;) I'm open to alternate ideas; I'd hope we can Xenomai for that board in a reproducible fashion (I hope) and configuration/build support for LinuxCNC per se I'd be at loss how we address the coprocessor code issue - I'm open for ideas; maybe a public slow and proprietary fast solution - I dont know how should we go about it? - Michael Am 23.11.2012 um 01:29 schrieb Bas Laarhoven: > On 21-11-2012 21:22, Charles Steinkuehler wrote: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> >> I'd also like to see the PRU code as part of LinuxCNC, which means >> open-source licensed, likely GPLv2+.
