Hi, I just bought a replicape rev B3A and wanted to use it on machinekit and I ran to several problems.
Does someone has an updated machinekit configuration script to support the revB? The DAC has been removed (easy fix) but the stepper drivers are different and the SPI that configure them has changed. I reprogrammed the eeprom to 00B3 to allow the device tree overlay to load the corresponding BB-BONE-REPLICAP-00B3.dtbo I tried the images at this link: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#BBW.2FBBB_.28All_Revs.29_Machinekit *bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-02-12-4gb.img.xz* This image runs a kernel 3.8 Xenomai and doesn't recognize the Replicape board right away. The installed dtbo has been compiled for kernel 4.4 and GPIOs indexes are wrong. I replaced gpioN to gpioN+1 and recompiled. But I just find out that the machinekit configuration script (ARM/beaglebone/replicape) is incompatible for this board. *bone-debian-8.7-machinekit-armhf-2017-04-23-4gb.img.xz* This image runs a kernel 4.4 Xenomai and recognize the Replicape. I had to install beaglebone 4.4.65-bone-rt-r17 because 4.4.62-ti-xenomai-r99 cause the machinekit loading (even simulations) to fail: * /usr/libexec/linuxcnc/rtapi_app_posix: No such file or directory* But the current configuration is for kernel 3.8. The script is looking in /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.* instead of /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr and I suspect that it's unable to load the PRU firmware.
