Re: [Machinekit] Machinekit not loading after upgrade

[schoone...@gmail.com]

The log snippets tell you the error is on line 14 of your hal file The line is loadrt hm2_pci config=" num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=1 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=5 sserial_port_0=00000000 " Unless hm2_pci does not exist, looks like it does not like the config string. It appears you have a 5i25, so the firmware is flashed.  It looks quite non standard http://www.machinekit.io/docs/man/man9/hostmot2/ : The 5i25 / 6i25 come pre-programmed with firmware and no "firmware=" string should be used with these cards. To change the firmware on a 5i25 or 6i25 the "mesaflash" utility should be used (available from Mesa). It is perfectly valid and reasonable to load these cards with no config string at all. Try removing the config string and see what happens If not fixed, follow the procedure at http://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-help/#how-to-report-an-error and DEBUG=5 should result in messages to show exactly why it failed On 09/01/19 17:36, mac44mag wrote: Problem:  After doing a system upgrade Machinekit will not load.  When run from either the Applications menu or Terminal, program fails to run after selecting user defined WorkBee CNC router.  Supplied sim machine (axis) loads normally.  Router via Machinekit was running normally before upgrade.  I (personally) changed nothing after upgrading.  After the upgrade, I shut down, rebooted and attempted to load Machinekit.  Nada...zilch...zero point...

Background:  Project (CNC router) begun apprx. 17 months ago as a learning exercise with the purpose of supporting my radio control plane building hobby.  I'm well versed in the Windows world, but I'm a newcomer to Linux.  I can normally follow simple instructions, but sometimes the vocabulary is....well, you know. I have attached a text file with the contents of:  linuxcnc.log, linuxcnc_debug.txt, linuxcnc_print.txt, along with the output from lscpu and uname -r.  In addition, I've attached my .hal and .ini files.  If there is anything else that I can do to help, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me.
