OK finaly got the board (the right one :) ) . I have burned latest ArcEye's image from:

This is what I get when starting my adapted ini and hal:

Machinekit terminated with an error.  You can find more information in the log:

and

as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal


My configs are here:

What would "Unknown parameter" mean? What am I missing?

If you are using that image unaltered, it has not been updated with the multicore code.
If you have updated anything - you will be falling between 2 stools most likely

Does the sim at ~/machinekit/configs/hm2-soc-stepper/5i25-socfpga.ini run properly?

The 'unknown parameter' error is misleading.  It is the heading for an error code and often does not reflect properly what went on.

In a terminal run
DEBUG=5 realtime restart
halcmd loadrt hostmot2
halcmd newinst hm2_soc_ol hm2-socfpga0 config=firmware=socfpga/dtbo/DE0_Nano_SoC_DB25.7I76_7I76_7I76_7I76.dtbo num_encoders=2 num_stepgens=4

Then look at /var/log/linuxcnc.log and prior to the error message it will show a better idea of why it rejected the param.

The best thing to do would be, as Charles said, probably be to clone the current machinekit repo, having renamed ~/machinekit/machinekit to machinekit.old or similar

If you create a proper swapfile you can build with make -j2, which speeds things up a bit, otherwise the g++ compiler will eat all the memory and fail at other than just make.

Then run the amended hm2-soc-stepper sim and all should be well, as the changes Charles mentioned are incorporated
Use that as the base for the driver loading section of your config.

I am currently using a 8GB image, with a 512MB swap partition, when I clean that up, I will post it - but it is currently running a machine.

Just to clarify, because there are a plethora of different kits and boards with similar names etc.

The DE0-NANO-Soc we used is the PO286-ND
http://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/P0286/P0286-ND/5222193?WT.mc_id=IQ_7628_G_pla5222193&wt.srch=1&wt.medium=cpc&WT.srch=1&mkwid=s&pcrid=106285396226&pkw=&pmt=&pdv=c

I inadvertently referred to another kit at £67, this correct one is £83 from Digikey, which appears to be the cheapest available,
with Mouser a few £ more

Does anybody know where in Europe I can buy de0 nano soc (Cyclone 5 i think).
I would like to control 3 servos - with machinekit.
Are stepper and servo configuration posibble on machinekit (on de nano soc) ?
