I didn't know about hostmot2-firmware-7i43-4, but it is up-to-date also. Still no extra bit files. I'm using stock 10.04.
With some searching, I found the build instructions (in the path /usr/share/doc/hostmot2-firmware-7i43-4 for anyone else searching). I was hoping to avoid doing that. I have Xilinx 12 installed on another computer, which appears to have some problems generating bitfiles for the 7i43. -- Ralph _______________________________________ From: Dave Cole [linuxcncro...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 8:32 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Stripped down TPEN4_5 firmware On 2/7/2014 5:31 AM, andy pugh wrote: > On 7 February 2014 02:00, Ralph Stirling <ralph.stirl...@wallawalla.edu> > wrote: >> It would probably work for me.

When I did: sudo apt-get install hostmot2-firmware-all it did not install the compiled bit files. But it installed the docs for compiling the bit files and perhaps also the bit file source code. I had to do a sudo apt-get install hostmot2-firmware-7i43-2 to get the 200K version firmware bit files. I think the -2 is changed to a -4 to get the 400K version bit files. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and when using the "Ubuntu software center" (I added the source path as required to find the LInuxCNC debs), if you type in hostmot2 it will find the packages but it will not install them properly. But when I did the "sudo apt-get install" line via the terminal it worked? So something is not quite right with the 12.04 Ubuntu software center and the LinuxCNC repository as it applies to the hostmot files for some reason.
