Where should I start to get LCNC working on ARM device? The information on ARM ports is atm bit littered over the emc-developers mailing list, which I suggest to read back to last fall, and several Wiki entries: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BeagleboneDevsetup http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?NewRTInstall http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RaspbianXenomaiBuild > What is recommended board to play with? my personal recommendation would be the new 'black' Beaglebone board about to come out - umph and I/O capabilities leave the Raspberry in the dust (which I think is a totally overhyped platform; it does have a decent package stream but thats about all of the upside I could think of relative to the BB for LinuxCNC purposes) the advantage of the black BB over the current one is - it has on-board HDMI and more memory I had no chance to build on the black BB since it isnt out yet but I dont expect any surprises except maybe for OpenGL support being a bit bumpy to start with the concept of glueing an Arduino to an ARM core is basically shmoozing up to the popularity of the Arduino and trying to get some marketing uplift from there; in terms of architectural wisdom and usefulneess I think it's obtuse BS that wont get any traction. -- As for other boards - the tough part is finding a realtime kernel that works and for the ARM boards Xenomai is the only realistic option atm - so before you jump make sure that the board, or at least the processor chip, are supported by Xenomai - see www.xenomai.org you miss out on this step - you have a board which will run the 'simulator mode' only (non-realtime threads) which isnt useful for real work; or face nontrivial kernel work to get the board supported and debugged with Xenomai. So the 'great deal' on the board of the week might serve well to enrich your assortment of doorstops ;) - Michael > Any FAQ or Wiki available? > > Andrew > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced > analytics on semi-structured data.
