I finally got Stretch 9 running on the atomic pi. I agree with Wallace that the forum is pretty poor. The only help I got was from another Linuxcnc user. So, thank you Robert Murphy (I guess not of Murphy’s law fame).
I have Synaptic running on it on Stretch. I couldn’t get Synaptic to run on the Lubuntu that they ship on it. The 16gb emmc is too small to load the necessary files to compile and link linuxcnc. Maybe I loaded some unnecessary stuff??? It was a real battle to get Grub set up correctly to boot with multiple disks attached, but I finally used rEFInd and was able to get Grub to boot correctly with a 64gb uSD and a 240gb SSD. I then compiled linux-4.19.37-rt20 and linuxcnc, but I ended up installing linuxcnc master. I also dislike the fact that when you push the reset button it also resets the date and time on the rtc. It also resets it to search for PXE net boot. Whether I use the api or the RockPro64 is sort of a toss up at the moment. I am planning to run a 7i76e and the question is whether I can get the RockPro64 to support Real-Time ethernet.
