Hi all, This is really a response to the "LinuxCNC for DIY 3D Printing" thread without hijacking that thread.
After seeing the success of a few other people in getting lcnc running on an Arm / Beaglebone, I thought I would take a shot at doing the same on the Olinuxino, with the intent of driving a 3D printer. I found the Olinuxino attractive because it has 512MB RAM and a 1Ghz processor and 3 I2C interfaces, as well as a companion 7" LCD or LCD touch display. It does not have an immediate interface to get to a Mesa type FPGA device, but I was hoping with a 1Ghz processor I would at least be able to directly drive 3 stepper motors. The board in fact just arrived today. Android built into the onboard NAND booted first time. While waiting for the board to arrive, I also built a custom kernel and a debian image and loaded that to a 4GB SD card. That, unfortunately was an abject failure. It would not boot, and worse, gave no error message. I just got a black screen. I am going to try a prebuilt stock debian image tomorrow. I did start a blog to document my progress here: http://lcncolinuxino.blogspot.com/ I will certainly have many questions (probably better posted to the developer list) as I get further along, but this seemed to be an appropriate time mention what I was up to.
