Subject: [Emc-developers] New parallel port error message

Hello, all, merry Christmas and a happy new year!
I've got a user who downloaded the latest (looks like development head), 
shows on screen
as 2.9.0, and he's using a PCIe parallel port at d010.  He gets the following 
message both in the log file
and on the Axis screen.  53264 decimal = d010 hex.  The parallel port is 
TRULY there, as
the system communicates with my PWM controller over it.  So, the message is 
totally
spurious.  I have seen this on other systems but have just been ignoring it. 
The message
"Linux parallel port" is not present in my hal_ppmc.c driver, it comes from 
the code that
manages reserving the parallel ports.  I'm pretty sure this message does NOT 
come out
when using motherboard ports at 0x378.  We specify the port address in the 
loadrt command

line for the hal_ppmc driver.

Debug file information:
Note: Using POSIX realtime
PPMC: bus 0 epp_dir = 0
Linux parallel port @53264 not found
PPMC: bus 1 epp_dir = 0
PPMC: bus 2 epp_dir = 0
PPMC: checking EPP bus 0 at port D010

Thanks for any suggestions on how to get rid of this.

Jon



I think I have seen this when there is no Linux driver for the specific port 
chipset. I agree its spurious since the Linux driver is not neccesary (at least

for chips that are standard enough that they dont need special setup)

Well, I can't imagine using G71 if you did have CAM software.
(Fusion360 is partly why I lost the incentive to convert my G71 remap
to native code)
But a chamfer is easy to hand-code, and R-format arcs are simple too.
I think that the objection to R-format falls down in lathe code where
they are typically exactly 90 degrees.
