Well, the existing preemp-rt kernel when I built the 2.8 release packages was 32-bit, so can not address 8GB. And there was a problem with that kernel if the available memory was set to more than 3GB. But, since then, I think that both issues have been fixed. There is a forum thread on building a 64-bit Pi LinuxCNC setup (and, I think, that there is probably a link somewhere to download an SD card image). But I haven't really had the time or motivation to follow it in detail -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
