The board and its specific code are supposed to work with Linux 3.0.36 kernel, but I've had some work with applying board-specific code to IPipe-patched kernel from here http://git.xenomai.org/ipipe-gch.git (one of the branches has already had some implemented code, so it was easier to start work from there). After that I've installed Xenomai, and everything seems to be working. I've had some problems during installation & configuring, but they were dealt with after some additional packages have been installed. I also will give you my Xenomai configuration parameters if you need them when I will get to my board tomorrow. Hope it is a full debrief you've been waiting for (:
And now, I have a problem with my output configuration, so I was hoping to get any bone you throw me: seems like stepconf is only capable of configuring LTP, and I need to use GPIO from my board to test LinuxCNC capabilities. -- sincerely, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
